The constituency office of High Peak MP Robert Largan has been targeted by vandals. 

Graffiti has been sprayed on the windows of the Conservative MP’s office in the centre of Whaley Bridge and police are investigating.  

The incident has been condemned by Labour politicians. 

Labour councillor Damien Greenhalgh, the deputy leader of High Peak Borough Council, tweeted: “Disgusted to learn of the vandalism to Robert Largan's constituency office.  

“Robert and I disagree on many things, but in a democracy, we all agree Elected Representatives should be able to carry out their public service without fear of intimidation or harm.”
