Everyone who loves the park will have been saddened to see the recent vandalism in this much-loved public space. During the Christmas and New Year holiday some unpleasant spray painting appeared on a pillar of the Pump Room and on the notice boards by the underpass. This took some time for CBC to arrange to be removed. The two lanterns on the balustrade of one of the bridges over the lake were also sprayed and CBC is due to repair these.
The duck feeder didn’t escape either, and was attacked twice over two days. The heavy-duty padlock was wrenched off, resulting in damage to the machine.
