* Picnic tables were torn out of the ground and dumped in the bandstand at Riverside Park, says a councillor. |
A member highlighted what he branded an act of “mindless,
wanton vandalism” during Tuesday night’s meeting of the Town Council.
Cllr Tony Baker said it happened in Riverside Park where
vandals had recently ripped two picnic tables out of the ground and thrown them
on to the bandstand.
However, he said he believed whoever was responsible had
been caught on CCTV in the process.
Town clerk J Gareth Thomas said the tables had been taken
away for repair by the county council’s countryside services team and that when
they were returned to the park the intention was to anchor them more firmly
into the ground.
A number of councillors mentioned other instances of
anti-social behaviour in the town and Mr Thomas said he would invite a police
representative to attend the next council meeting.
He also told members that it could be time to start looking
at replacing some of the town centre’s CCTV cameras as technology had moved on
since they were first installed some years ago.
