Pontefract Heritage Group is so concerned with the level of vandalism andat their ancient park that it has written to Council Leader Peter Box asking him to tackle the worrying problem. In one of the most recent incidents, eight birch, ash and maple trees were sawn down. Pontefract’s bowling club is planning to create an zone by fencing off the greens to prevent further damage to them. These attacks come hot on the heels of damage inflicted on Pontefract Castle by gangs of youths who have ripped masonry from the ruins. Michael Holdsworth, Chairman of the I leritage group, yesterday commented: Noticeable damage has occurred over several years in the gardens and action taken to stop the culprits entering at night has so far been ineffective. And it’s not just the bad of teenagers which is wreaking havoc with the gardens. Adults misuse them too in the daytime by parking on the grass and flower-beds.'
