Here's what readers have had to say so far. Why not add your thoughts below.
It’s particularly galling to think that some lowlife saw fit to reward the fantastic, voluntary efforts of the Subway Team in this way. Let’s hope that they are caught quickly and properly punished for their cowardly action.
I understand that the franchises for both shops are ran by the same people.
This is the second time they've been attacked. We cannot imagine how the staff must feel.
Subway Dean Row is a really good venue, lots of healthy options, friendly staff and what's more they welcome small groups too which is brilliant.
At a time when the "Summerfields - Colshaw" recreational & leisure facilities are under threat from developers, it's a community asset and meeting place that we all need to protect.
