The iconic Deptford anchor, a celebration of it’s maritime past has been violated. The relic has been covered in yellow paint and has angered a few locals to the area.
This either a tragic incident or just outright vandalism occurred on the 19th of October. Social media platforms like twitter, shared a picture of the anchor and opinions by locals have been raised. For example, there were those who chose to find humour in the act but most were offended and upset. Those who found themselves angered were not only upset at the fact that something with so much historic value had been damaged, but they also raised the question about whether the council will take any action. According to locals in the area, the complaints about the council taking action to clean the vandalism stems from requests to help clean their streets which apparently has not happened yet.
