We are extremely sad to see that the Roundhouse has suffered a fresh round of vandalism in the last few weeks, the most recent being yesterday. Each time the damage has occurred to the inside of the roof structure, by the use of a ball, stick or bat being hit hard again the wooden planks to dislodge and damage them. This is a costly and tricky thing to repair, funds that ultimately could be far better used elsewhere.
The latest incident was yesterday, Wednesday 5th July at approximately 17.50 when 3 young males were caught by the CCTV cycling inside the Roundhouse and then aggressively kicking a ball at the roof, resulting in the damage shown on the picture above.
They were also then recorded acting very suspiciously in and around the new Eco Toilets, although no damage has been discovered.
This incident has been reported to the Police and we will supply the CCTV footage as evidence.
If you have any information that might help the Police please contact them directly or share in confidence with us by emailing parishclerk@easebourne.org
It’s been a long time since we’ve seen this sort of behaviour in the Park and we’re very much hoping this is an isolated incident, but we will progress this and any subsequent incidents with the authorities and we continue to review CCTV images on a daily basis.
