Edward McCarthy Conservative Candidate for Knowsley ward, following concerns from residents , has looked at damage to the metal fencing on the Halsall Lane park.
Edward said: "The metal fencing is damaged at the back of the park, there are sharp edges and pieces missing. I have asked West Lancs Borough Council to look at this issue and carry out the necessary work. West Lancs Borough Council has over 40 play areas across the borough which are open all year round and provide a wide range of fun play experiences. The play areas cater for a variety of age ranges from 5 year olds to teenagers. The park is popular with local residents, old and young alike. Vandalism is unacceptable. We are appealing for the public to help us track down any individuals who vandalise our parks and spoil things for everyone else. If anyone sees any suspicious activities in this park or any of the Council’s parks and countryside areas please call the rangers on 01695 570258 or 01695 622794, or the police non-emergency number 101."
