The people responsible for the latest spat of vandalism don’t realise what will happen if this carries on.
Since the ‘New’ Picnic Benches were replaced in August 2021 – there have been 10 incidents of them being vandalised – including the complete destroying of one by setting it on fire.
In the past week (oh no – its not school holidays – not allowed to say such things)
3 incidents have occured.
The fire damaged bench was replaced with a metal one, by Ex Landlord Mr Bruce Road, who raised the money to sponsor the bench.
The repairs to date have been carried out by The Street Pride Team – they have run out of parts and getting somewhat fed up.
The two benches damaged this week have been made safe – however no parts – no more allocated funding and at some stage consideration will have to be made to start removing them all together.
If you know the name(s) of those who are responsible – why not name and shame them for the sake of those who would like to enjoy the Manor Field Picnic Benches.
