Police officers will be in talks with local schools over crude graffiti tags in a Shropshire village.

Baschurch has been the centre of a spate of lewd graffiti tags which has seen local members of the public pay for the cleaning bill.

A spokesperson for West Mercia Police said: “This is currently being looked in to by local officers; some names have been provided and the schools will be liaised with and talks held.

“When first noticed a local councillor took time to remove the majority of the graffiti at a cost to themselves, since the removal there has been more done, which is not acceptable.

“The area is a children's play area and there were drawings of genitalia on the play equipment and some of the remarks made are quite insulting and could cause offence.”
