The Eco Committee has just placed an order for "plug" plants for fruit and vegetable crops for our poly tunnel. so the next step was to inspect the poly tunnel and see what work needed done. You can imagine the dismay and disappointment when we discovered on Monday that it had been damaged more!
Here are photos from Monday 23rd April:
 |
| The polythene around the door frame has been slashed-the door was damaged during the winter. |
 |
| This hole has been widened. |
And then we went out on Friday 27th to check it for traces of any "visitors" and we were sickened to find that they had been back causing more mindless damage
 |
| A new hole carved out. |
 |
| More slashes in the roof. |
 |
| To give an idea of scale. |
Staff will be checking the CCTV footage and any footage of the damage being done will be handed to the police. This damage is so excessive it renders the poly tunnel useless in the winter months now.
The Eco Committee find it hard to understand why folk come and damage children's things. Once again, we are not going to beaten by the actions of a few vandals an we are appealing to parents to come and help at the poly tunnel after school: weeding, watering, pruning or just enjoying the tranquility of the place. Any presence may just keep the vandals at bay.
