The Bolsover and Clowne Safer Neighbourhood Team received reports today that Fox Green in Creswell had been hit by vandalism.

An SNT spokesperson said: “As well as the damage, it has created an unsightly view for local residents. Time, resources and funds have been invested in the area with the planting of hundreds of trees, and these trees have also suffered damage from mindless vandals who have pulled them out of the ground.
