Two Chalkwell Buses have been damaged after been attacked on Sonora Way in The Meads development in Sittingbourne.

The 334 service, between Sittingbourne and Sheerness, was attacked at around 6pm yesterday (Monday 17th June) with the bus company confirming that a similar incident happened last week in the same area.

Director Roland Eglinton said: "the damage has cost the company around £1,000 not to mention the inconvenience for customers. If this continues we will have no choice but to withdraw the buses from Sonora Fields part of the 334 route. We carry a lot of children and vulnerable people so we cannot risk their safety.”

Mr Eglinton is encouraging anyone who may have any information about the incident/s to report it directly to Kent Police using the crime reference number: 18/0773.
