Oswaldtwistle: Stolen stones at Rhyddings Park

Thieves have been at Rhyddings Park in Oswaldtwistle on the evening of Friday 13th June 2014 and removed a quantity of stone coping stones from one of the park walls. HBC officers went in to tidy up the site and repairs were completed in time for the Carnival last weekend.

Cllr Ken Moss, Cabinet member for Education, Leisure and the Arts, said, "This is a sad sign of the times that even public parks are not safe from thieves. It is not financially viable to replace stolen copings with traditional stone but thanks are due to the hardworking staff for fixing the problem in time for the Carnival. If anyone does have any information then please come forward, this is theft of public property."
