Vandals pull down railings around new tennis courts in Earlsdon park

Coventry City Council said it will be inspecting the damage



Railings have been pulled down in what’s said to be an act of vandalism at a Coventry park.

Reader Norman Brown contacted the Telegraph with a photo of damaged railings saying: “Vandalised new playground in Spencer Park, Earlsdon."

The city council said it will be inspecting the damage.

Our photographer Nick Wilkinson had this to say of the site: “The construction is very poor as kids should not be able to push barriers concreted in.

“The workmanship is dreadful with only a couple of inches going down into soft tarmac and no strength or strutts supporting the metal work, a botched job in construction.”

A city council spokesman said: “The work at Spencer Park to refurbish the tennis courts is still underway.

“We will be sending out a member of our team to inspect and assess the damage.”
