This is what a group of men (that we have on video) did to my neighbours wall trying to vandalise her vote Labour board. I found them in nearby pub & asked them to apologise & pay for damage. Arrogant & hostile, so police it is.

The only people there from Norwich were me & a fellow cllr. The public gallery was packed. I was there to support colleagues by live-tweeting the meeting so they could focus on debate. Neither of us uttered a single word. So get your facts straight. Visited any centres yet btw?

Hi Paul - just for clarity the resident who received it reported it to Norwich City Council elections office & they notified her they reported to Electoral Commission- I didn’t make the report myself.
