A table was smashed over the weekend on the Fosseway stretch of the route.

A spokesperson for Lichfield and Hatherton Canals Restoration Trust said they were taking steps to prevent future vandalism.

> “More mindless vandalism at Fosseway with the table by the talking benches destroyed.  
>  
> “Thankfully, more security cameras are on the way, funded by donations.”
