'Extremely disappointing': Market Drayton play area hit by vandals just months after £102k revamp
A children's play park in Market Drayton has been covered in spray paint graffiti leading the town mayor to condemn the "extremely disappointing" actions of "a tiny number".
A month of refurbishment and renovations took place just last summer to rejuvenate the Dalelands play area in Market Drayton's Dalelands estate.
The massive renovation included the addition of new play equipment and fencing, a nature trail, basketball hoop and the removal of a large grass hump creating a ball play area with fixed goalposts.
The whole project cost Market Drayton Town Council just under £102,000, funded in part by developer contributions from new housing developments in Market Drayton.
