Mindless vandalism to new play park..

Part of a new £67,000 children's play park in Port Glasgow has been destroyed in a mindless act of vandalism a few weeks after the park was completed.

The climbing wall in the play park at Barrs Brae is believed to have been set on fire on Friday night. I would urge anyone with information on who may have been responsible to contact Police Scotland on 101.

The Council is continuing to invest huge sums in improving outdoor play facilities for children and young people across Inverclyde and such acts of vandalism are extremely depressing. They also deprive the children who use our play parks of these important facilities and at the same time place an additional financial burden on the Council at a time we can ill afford it.
