Vandals strike at Chesney Field play ground

Chesney's Field

Vandals have damaged the popular “zip wire” play equipment on Foxwood Lane. The wire has now been removed and may take several months to repair.

Chesneys field has been subject to increasing amounts of vandalism over recent months with bins damaged and litter strewn across the grassed area.

Part of the blame for the problems is put down to the lack of Community Ranger patrols over the last couple of years.

The patrols were scrapped by Labour when they cut ward committee budgets and prevented residents from having a say on how the remaining funds were prioritised.
