Damage along the River bank


Damage along the River bank has been caused by youths over the last few months. Notably, the popular and widely used picnic tables have been ruined, by youths lighting a fire on them. Motorbike races have also been taking place along the towpath, making it extremely dangerous to walk on. Boat owners, and pedestrians have often reported youths racing motorbikes along the towpath when there is people walking young children and dogs along the River. “It wont be long before somebody is killed” said one boat owner. Earlier this year, half of a dustbin was removed in the Millennium Green and thrown in the River along with all of the rubbish (pictured below), and also, the picnic platform above the River in the Millennium Green has also been set on fire, and had a piece of wood knocked through, (also pictured below). People are starting to wonder why the authorities have not done anything yet.
