'Mindless vandalism'

The GMPTE bus stop outside Tesco supermarket on Manchester Road, Sudden has been smashed to pieces by vandals
The GMPTE bus stop outside Tesco supermarket on Manchester Road, Sudden has been smashed to pieces by vandals. Glass is strewn across the pavement, the lay-by and the dual carriageway after an act described by one local as “mindless vandalism”.
The vandalism occurred late Friday night/early this morning (Saturday 8 August) and has made any attempt to stand at the bus stop, or get or on or alight from a bus, very precarious.
Philip Jones of Rochdale, surveying the mess as he waited for a bus said: “This is mindless vandalism but sadly we have come to expect it these days.”
While our photographer was taking photos a bus arrived at the stop and a disabled patron and his helper very gingerly picked their way through the glass hoping not to damage wheelchair tyres.
