Dear Sir,
News that some pillock has damaged the exercise equipment in West Park leaves me sad, but not surprised, after all residents of our fantastic town were enjoying it so why wouldn’t the mentally undedeveloped try to spoil thnings?
The greatest weapon in our arsenal is the mobile phone which is capable of taking covert pictures of the culprits. Our police officers cannot be everywhere at once so it is up to the public to help.
Our legal system is no longer punitive because even these destructive burks have human rights. Rarely do sentences fit the crime anymore.
If the equipment was damaged between 9 and 12 the perpetrators must be waterproof as it was pouring down most of the time.
This vandalism will not stop the progress of improving West Park.
