DERRY Sinn Féin Councillor Kevin Campbell has called on parents to know where there children are after a play park was targeted by vandals in Creggan.
He said: “I was contacted by a number of residents from Oakland Park on Friday about the damage caused to the local children’s play park.
“Sadly this isn’t the first time this park has been targeted.
“When I visited the area I could see that the rubber safety matting was ripped up.
“The park warden had no choice but to keep it locked to avoid further damage.
“I have spoken to council officers who have assured me they will have it fixed as soon as possible.
“And I would appeal to parents to be mindful of where their children are at and ask them to respect the park facilities as we had to fight long and hard to get them,” added Cllr Campbell.
