Derbyshire police have appealed for information after public toilets were deliberately set on fire last weekend.

The arson attack on the gents toilets on Buxton Road in Whaley Bridge happened between 1:30-2:05am on Sunday December 1. 

Police taped off the facilities while investigating the incident, with a spokesperson saying: “This senseless act of vandalism has not only caused significant damage but also disrupted a vital community service. 

“Let's work together to keep our community safe and ensure that such acts do not go unpunished.  

“Your cooperation is crucial in bringing the responsible individuals to justice.” 

This is the latest in a spate of arson around the area, with two 15-year-old boys being arrested after fire tore through the former Taxal Lodge School in October. 

Anybody with information should contact the police quoting reference: 24*713730.
