The play park at Cumber House in Claudy, which recently secured £250,000 funding to carry out redevelopment work as part of the wider regeneration of Claudy Country Park, has been attacked by vandals several times in recent weeks.
Wooden structures in the play park were wrecked and windows broken in a series of attacks carried out by local hoods.
SDLP Councillor, Brenda Stevenson slammed those responsible for the repeated vandalism.
“This needs to be addressed,” said Cllr. Stevenson.
“This has been going on for quite some time now. It is wanton vandalism and it must be stopped now. It would appear that car loads of these vandals are turning up and parking at the GAA pitch in the early hours of the morning and walking over to the play park. You would think when it is people in cars that they would know better not to vandalise.”
