He said the vandalism is the latest of a string of yob behaviour in the area.
"Sadly the person or persons who scrawled all over the mural in at the former Holts business in Hebden Bridge last night in pink pen made their way through the village here too,” he said.
"I’ve tried to clear up most of it this morning doing a loop from Thrush Hill back round to New Road.

“It’s a real shame this anti-social behaviour is blighting the valley.
"I know the station building has recently been vandalised and there have been instances of abuse, harassment and more.
