A NEW jetty at a village beauty spot lasted just 24 hours before it was trashed by vandals.
The rotting structure into the pond at Monk Bretton park had been replaced with modern plastic planking.
It was installed on August 18 but by the following day it had been vandalised with two of the composite planks broken and ripped up and fixings smashed on at least eight more planks.
Jo Kasparek, secretary of Friends of Monk Bretton Park, said the mindless destruction is disheartening for members who work hard to keep the park in good order.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
