VANDALS have forced the partial closure of a Whitehaven play park.
Copeland Council has been forced to fence off a climbing frame and play net at the Hensingham park after vandals ripped the protective mat below.
The Council will repair the damage – at a cost to the taxpayer – and the police has been informed of the incident, which was uncovered during a routine inspection earlier this week.
Councillor Mark Holliday, Portfolio Holder for Open Spaces, said: “This sort of damage is unacceptable and we take a ‘zero tolerance’ approach to it.

COPELAND Council is asking residents and visitors for their views on a raft of measures used to counter anti-social behaviour in the borough.
A consultation has been launched in which people are invited to comment on the Council’s current restrictions on public alcohol consumption and policies on public dog control.
The consultation comes as the existing orders that cover anti-social behaviour linked to alcohol and dogs are being phased out by the Government. Copeland Council will replace these with Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs) in October.

PLEASE don’t feed the seagulls - that’s the plea being made by Copeland Council in a new campaign leaflet.
Whitehaven, and Copeland’s other coastal towns and villages, are home to a large number of seagulls, and Copeland Council has published an information leaflet to help counter some of the problems they bring.
It details the law as it relates to seagulls, and outlines what measures can be taken to deter them, including eliminating their food source and preventing nesting sites.

COPELAND Council is set to request its councillor numbers to be reduced by more than a third.
Subject to agreement by the full council at a meeting on August 31, Copeland will ask the Local Government Boundary Commission (LGBC) to reduce the number of members it is required to have from 51 to 33.
After considering Copeland’s submission, the LGBC will confirm the councillor number in October, and the reduction it imposes will take effect from the next election in May 2019.
