A CHURCH which has been targeted by vandals has been given a security boost thanks to a kind-hearted community group. Trinity Methodist Church in Tonge Fold had a front window – positioned above the church door – smashed in late November last year. Yobs picked up a large painted pebble that was decorated for Remembrance Day and threw it at the window. Then on New Year’s Eve, half a brick was hurled at the same window, not long after it had been repaired. These are not the first occasions vandals have caused a nuisance at the church. Before the coronavirus restrictions were imposed last year, the Tonge Old Road church hosted groups including a snooker club on Wednesday nights. A couple of the club members, who parked their cars at the side of the church, found windows of their vehicles had been smashed at the start of last year.
