A community has been left without access to a popular play area and park in Carlton -thanks to mindless vandals.
Gedling Borough Council has today announced that they have been forced to temporarily close Carnarvon Grove Play Area and Cavendish Road Recreation Ground until the damage to safety flooring is repaired.
The parks will remain closed until repairs can be carried out.

A spokesman for Gedling Borough Council said: “Unfortunately, due to over £20k worth of vandalism to safety flooring at Carnarvon Grove Play Area and Cavendish Road Recreation Ground we’ve had to close the two parks temporarily.
“We are very sorry to have to do this but we had no choice due to the damage caused.”
- If anyone has any information about who did this, please contact the Police on 101 or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
There is now another problem in that the rubberised flooring has broken up and is spread over the whole of the recreation field from top to bottom. People’s dogs have been seen eating this and potentially becoming ill, so be alert owners, it needs GBC to get it all cleaned up…..but don’t hold your breath.
