A mining charity is calling on residents in Doncaster to help protect a community green space hit by vandalism, fly-tipping and anti-social behaviour.
The Coal Industry Social Welfare Organisation (CISWO) said it recently spent “tens of thousands of pounds” to help secure Market Street Field in Highfields.
Despite this, the charity said security bollards preventing vehicular access had been vandalised and it still faced repeated incidents.
Nicola Didlock, CISWO chief executive, said: “People are on there with cars, quad bikes, they’re racing around, there’s obviously issues with fly-tipping and we keep trying to deal with it and remove the things that are dumped.
