WELL-dressing decorations on two of Malvern's most prominent water features were wrecked by vandals at the weekend.

The Temperance Foun-tain, on the edge of Malvern Link Common, and the Stocks Fountain, on North Malvern Road, were attacked.

Both had been decorated as part of the annual well-dressing competition.

Janice Gibbons and Joyce Dawkins, of Malvern Civic Society, had been highly commended by judges for their decoration of the Temperance Fountain.

But on Friday night, vandals stole a figurine from the display and the following night it was wrecked altogether.

Katherine Barber, of Malvern Civic Society, said: "It happens every year unfortunately. It must be people coming back from the pub drunk."

The Stocks Fountain had been decorated by its well warden, Mel Platt.
