REPAIRS have been carried out to the basket swing at the King George Playing Field in Norton for the second time due to vandalism.
Members of Norton Town Council were told that the steel wire attaching the basket has been deliberately frayed.
Town clerk Ros Tierney said the new attachment was now link chained so should be more robust.
“Moles in the playing field are also proving particularly difficult at the moment, with the mole catcher having to attend again over a period of days,” she said.
“While he is happy to continue for now, he had indicated that due to the fact that whenever he comes he has a certain amount of traps removed, making the process longer and more costly, he may need to consider whether it is worth continuing in the future.”
