A local mother has expressed her concern about a recent spate of vandalism at the Rockfield Community Play Area.

The mother, who wished to remain anonymous, said she noticed on Saturday that the safety surface around the swings and slides had been dug up and also there was a lot of graffiti.

There was also an ongoing problem at Rockfield Community Centre.

"The lights outside were vandalised a few years ago and they still haven't been fixed".

"It really is going down hill," she said.
