Vandalism Prompts Action At Market Harborough Woodland Site

Council bosses are taking action following vandalism in a wooded area in Market Harborough, where dens and ramps are to be removed.

Harborough District Council says structures built using dismantled fencing pose a safety risk to those using the area and other members of the public.

The activity in the council-owned site off Simborough Way on the Ashley Way estate is being treated as anti-social behaviour and could amount to criminal damage.

Contractors will remove the structures, repair damaged fencing, fill holes and inspect trees for any damage.

The council says the site will continue to be monitored and further action taken where necessary, and is urging people to help keep the area safe and use it as intended.
