The head of Calverton's local council says he has thought of employing a security guard at one of the village's parks after it had to be closed due to vandalism. An incident on Monday (May 29) reportedly saw a member of the public jumping from a climbing frame tower onto decking, smashing through it in the process, at the William Lee Park.
Due to health and safety concerns, the closure of the park was confirmed the following day to allow the repair of the decking to take place. Andy Meads, the Chairman of Calverton Parish Council, said: "We should know soon whether we'll be reopening this week or in a few weeks.
"I would hope that we'll be able to fix it ourselves, but we have to make sure the repair work is compliant with health and safety and our insurance. We know who did it now because we have very good CCTV footage, we had cameras put up and a cherry tree was chopped down so that this particular camera looked right onto the playing equipment."
