A newly installed bench at Withernsea skate park has been vandalised.
The new bench, which had only been installed last month as part of a bid to improve the skate park, was found upturned with its securing bolts removed. It is believed that the incident happened sometime last weekend (February 26-27).
Kim Gray, town clerk, said: “How sad for Withernsea’s skateboarders – their newly installed bench was wrenched from its bolts at the weekend, after only three weeks.
“The vandalised bench left the securing bolts exposed, posing a risk for skatepark users over the weekend.”
