Last Friday, many youngsters had their last day of Secondary school prior to their exams and being a nice day, went out to celebrate. There was a gathering of between 100 to 150 teenagers at Redlees which we understand was generally well behaved. The following day, one local lady told us, “I went down to […]
Sad to see vandals have targeted the small pedestrian footbridge at Redlees Park.
