A disgruntled man from Bury has been left feeling "angry and upset" by the continued defacing of a sacred war memorial in the Northern Quarter.
Council bosses vowed to take action after graffiti was scrawled on the sacred war memorial in January. The bronze plaques in the Northern Quarter in Manchester city centre commemorate men who gave their lives for the country in the First and Second World Wars. The graffiti was daubed onto a poppy mural below.
Andrew Gallimore, 40, from Bury, says he routinely walks past the mural daily and says this month more unsightly graffiti has been piled on. The plaques remember the men of J & N Philips and Co Ltd who fought and died in both world wars. Founded in Staffordshire in 1747, the textile manufacturer's Manchester building stood on the site where the car park stands today.
