Vandals Smash Seven School Buses in Heartless Attack
Thugs in Trowbridge have left seven school minibuses wrecked, smashing windscreens in a chilling weekend rampage at Silverwood School on Ashton Street. The targeted vehicles are vital for ferrying children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), making this a cruel blow to local families.
SEND Kids Left Stranded After Mindless Vandalism
The smashed windscreens have put the buses out of action, causing chaos for children and parents alike. These minibuses are specially adapted to help kids with mobility issues and wheelchair users get to school safely.
Neighbourhood Sgt Charly Chilton blasted the vandals, saying, “This senseless act has meant that several vehicles which are vital for local children to get to and from school are now out of action. This has had a serious knock-on impact on the children who have had to adjust their normal routines, as well as their parents.”
Costly Repairs Loom as School Faces Budget Crunch
Fixing or replacing the damaged buses won’t be cheap. With specially adapted vehicles required, the school faces a heavy financial hit that could divert funds away from other critical areas.
