£20k damage to kids’ playpark
A GANG is being sought by police after they caused thousands of pounds worth of damage to a children’s playpark.
The vandals torched a climbing frame and a chute and tore up the soft surface of Barrhead’s Carlibar park around 2am on Monday, June 4.
East Renfrewshire council said repairs could be between £18,000 and £20,000 if all the damaged equipment is replaced as some of it has to be shipped in from Holland.
