Cost of weekend vandalism 'runs into thousands'

Council officers are liaising with Sussex Police and appealing for information about those responsible.

Councillor Colin Swansborough, Cabinet Member for Community Spaces, said:

"Whoever carried this vandalism out needs to be identified, put before the court and severely punished.

"The damage runs into thousands of pounds and sadly it is local people who use this play area who will suffer most.

"If anyone has information about this crime, they should call 101 immediately.  We need the community to help us find these despicable offenders."

If you have information about the vandalism in Shinewater Park, please call 101.
