Hundreds of pounds' worth of timber has been ripped out and stolen from Wallingford's Riverside Park complex.

Vandals attacked the premises during the Bank Holiday weekend.

Fencing was taken from around one of the outdoor pools, managed by South Oxfordshire Leisure Ltd (SOLL), and from the perimeter of the neighbouring car park, owned by South Oxfordshire District Council.

SOLL managing director Stuart Henshaw said about 10 wooden fence panels round the paddling pool had been taken on Monday, May 6, and the windows of his company's nearby boat shed smashed.

He put the cost of repairs at between £1,000 and £1,500.

Anyone who has information about the incident is asked to call Wallingford police on 01491 821515.
