Chester Green Playground Targeted by Vandals

The slide on Chester Green is out of action as it has been vandalised. It is currently fenced off so as not to cause injury. There have been a few problems with vandals in the area lately, and if you see anything, whether it’s vandalism or just general anti-social behaviour, please report it to the police on 0845 123 3333.

Chester Green loses recycling centre

A couple of days ago the council took away our recycling centre from the car park next to the Aida/Bliss building. They had threatened to take it away the next time it was vandalised (after the last time we spoke to them), so I guess it was just a matter of time. However, the problem is that streetcare have no other site to house the recycling bins as yet, so we’ve lost them (note that the council still have them listed here.

We will try and find out what’s going on, but in the meantime streetcare can be contacted at streetcare@derby.gov.uk or 01332 715000.
