A memorial bridge to a young girl who died crossing the A249 has been defaced with far right nationalist graffiti. Slogans including “kill Muslims”, “keep Britain British” and “EDL” have been scratched into the moss on Jade’s Crossing in Detling.
The bridge was erected as a memorial to Jade Hobbs, who was killed along with her grandmother while crossing the busy road in 2000. The tragedy led to a successful campaign by Jade’s mother Caroline Hobbs and husband Paul to build a permanent footbridge.
