» A RESIDENT has expressed her horror after racist graffiti, including Nazi symbols, appeared in a car park.
-
The messages were discovered in the car park at Long Rock, near Penzance on the morning of October 9.
Kim Ellis, 36, said she called the police and Cornwall Council as soon as she saw the markings, which included two Nazi swastikas and racist phrases spray-painted on the ground.
When she returned to the car park later that afternoon an attempt had already been made to wash the graffiti away.
“It's awful,” Ms Ellis said.
