We are saddened to report acts of vandalism that occurred last night at 17:02 at Alfreton House, High Street. A motorbike was seen causing damage to the lawn, riding recklessly in a pedestrian only area and damage was caused to one of the fence panels.

These incidents have been reported to the police and CCTV footage will be shared, we will not tolerate these acts of mindless vandalism in our community.

We ask anyone with information to come forward to help identify those involved.
