Youths tear up floors, melt bins and smash beer bottles in Hare Hill Park

Safety flooring ripped up and used as frisbees by the mindless youths

Youths have ripped up safety flooring, melted bins, and left broken beer bottles around Hare Hill Park in Littleborough, causing havoc.

In the latest attack on the beauty spot, the new safety flooring on the children’s play area has been ripped up and used as frisbees by the mindless teens who were seen throwing it at each other whilst drinking alcohol.

This vandalism follows recent reports that wheelie bins were being dragged onto the band stand and then torched for entertainment.

Greater Manchester Police has been informed about the problems and is working to find those responsible.

Local resident Chris Higginbottom said enough is enough: “I go to that park with my three-year-old granddaughter, we don’t want to find bottles all over the place. They are coming in at night and drinking, dragging wheelie bins around and setting them on fire, and now this.

“The floor hasn’t been down for very long and they come along and rip it all up and throw it at each other.”

Local councillor Ann Stott said: “Hare Hill Park is a beautiful spot and it is being ruined by this small group. Action must be taken.”
