Having checked with our Community Warden Nick Thistle Wyeweb are now able to report on the vandalism that occured on Saturday night.

Vandals left a trail of destruction through Little Chequers, Orchard Drive, Upper Bridge Street and Chequers Park. Vegetables on an allotment patch were smashed to the ground, fence edging was ripped up, a birdbath pulled over, flowers ripped out of the ground, a newly planted tree was uprooted and also a rose bush pulled out.

We can confirm that this unacceptable behaviour is being treated very seriously indeed by both our Community Warden Nick Thistle and also the Police.
