Sleafordian Coaches, a respected transport company based in Lincolnshire, is dealing with the aftermath of vandalism which damaged their freshly-purchased coach during a football trip. Unknown perpetrators, believed to be youths, targeted the vehicle and shattered its rear window. The incident occurred when the coach, on its first-ever journey, was stationed at Victory Park in Chorley following a match in which King’s Lynn Town met with a loss. The resulting damage led to significant, unexpected repair expenses and compelled a hurried arrangement for a replacement vehicle to bring the team home securely. Operational Manager, Danny Mountcastle made a statement on behalf of the firm. He revealed their shock, explaining the severe effect this kind of destruction has on their family-run operation. Nevertheless, they expressed appreciation for the substantial support they received from the local community and emphasized the predominantly positive attitudes towards their services.
