Cropton Park vandalism

John Fareham and John Abbott have arranged for the police and others to take steps to prevent antisocial behaviour and vandalism on Cropton Park. We received complaints from local residents regarding youths misbehaving in the play area and of damage to Play Equipment we have therefore arranged through the local area team that they, in conjunction with the local community policing team and the neighbourhood nuisance team, will monitor any such issues on a continuing basis. It goes without saying that, especially in the light of the recent claims to the contrary, we do care about the state of maintenance of these playing fields, we have put funding into new equipment and we will take a serious view of any attempt at wanton destruction or damage where any play equipment is concerned.
