Waterloo and Taunton Conservative Club in Ashton was forced to close following a burglary on Tuesday.

Significant damage was caused to the property and cash was stolen.

The club, named Club Mirror Charity Club of the Year in 2023, for supporting local and national charities, was targeted during the day, forcing it to close for 24 hours.

Club Secretary, Lyndon Watkin said: “We are angry, but at the same time heart broken, that someone could target our club, especially as we do so much to support the local community and raise thousands of pounds for charities.”
