Racist and offensive graffiti has been plastered over the walls of a subway.

A symbol that resembles a swastika has been daubed in the Cow Lane underpass in Garston along with the N-word racial slur and foul language.

Local county councillor Stephen Cavinder said residents had been left "upset" by the graffiti and said the subway is regularly used by children heading to the Grove Academy.

This incident comes after Cllr Cavinder shared images of artwork in the subway that runs under the A405 by Horseshoe Lane that had been defaced.

The displays by pupils from Parmiter's and St Michael's has had stickers put on while signs explaining where the art has come from has been defaced.

Cllr Cavinder said: "Across Watford a lot of work is being done to upgrade various subways. It's disappointing to see that already these two subways have been vandalised.

"I encourage residents to report any incidents they see. We mustn't let the minority who do this, spoil it for the majority who will enjoy the walk through these subways."
