Vandals have destroyed one of five newly installed interpretation boards at the borough’s award winning Woodside Park, Benfleet . The new interpretation boards were installed only a few weeks ago to enhance users visits to the borough’s parks and cost £1,000 each.
Councillor Paul Varker Cabinet Member for Environment and Leisure said ‘This is so disappointing the boards are fantastic. This wanton mindless vandalism is unacceptable. I would ask residents to be vigilant and anyone with information on this or any vandalism in our borough to report it to Essex Police on 101
or anonymously through Essex Crimestoppers 08000 555 111.’
