I thought it might be helpful to let you know that I witnessed a large lorry do this damage this morning. It happened at 6:55am today (21 January) on Prince of Wales Road where a very large Dulux lorry was attempting a 3-point turn using Angler's Lane and Prince of Wales Road. On reversing, he went into the traffic light, which is now bent as a result. I thought it might be helpful to let you know in case you can find the CCTV and then hopefully get Dulux to pay for the damage!
