A skate ramp in a Stevenage park may be beyond economical repair , after it was targeted by vandals.
Perpetrators hit the facility at Peartree Park with metal poles on Tuesday, causing an estimated £20,000 worth of damage.
A Stevenage Borough Council spokesperson said: Very sadly the facility may now be beyond economical repair, in which case it will be removed if it’s not possible to replace. We have evidence of the vandalism in progress which will be shared with the police. We shouldn’t have to say this, but please do not vandalise any play or skate equipment – this facility could now be lost as a result of this, which isn t fair on anyone who enjoys using it.

An appeal to raise money to repair the roof of a family support charity s headquarters has been shut down, as Stevenage Borough Council has agreed to fund the repairs.
Home-Start Hertfordshire, which is based in Bedwell Park, Stevenage, launched an urgent appeal to raise £7,000 to fix the leaky roof.
Following the launch, the charity received a personal donation of £7,000, covering the entire costs, and additional donations amounting to £2,155.
However by that time the council had offered to cover the full cost, which led the charity to shut down the appeal.
