Investigations are ongoing – but ‘if’ you have any information, please contact me…
After lots of phone calls and running around I eventually found out that….
FDC removed it. They took it back to their yard because someone had injured themselves on what remained.
So from history – Vandalism has taken part from as long as anyone can remember.
The Manor Field is no exception.
This project was initiated by myself and I raised a substantial amount of money to get the projected up, running and completed with help from my Street Pride Friends.
From the very first week, dare I say our feral individuals were having a go.
Remember ‘they’ set fire to one and completely destroyed it.
The Picnic Benches have been repaired time and time again for people to enjoy.
Last year it was decided to stop repairing them until a better plan was in place.
Ex Cllr Simon Black was going to take on the project alas nil happened.
It is very unfortunate that someone has been injured, that is the reason for removing the Bench. There maybe other that will also need to be removed.
The ‘blame’ is simple – Vandalism on the Manor is regular and until the culpirits are caught they will spoil it for everyone.
I hope to have a meeting with all interested parties in the near future to seek a way forward.
