“We are working hard to have the damage cleaned up as soon as possible.

“The town council will not tolerate these mindless acts of vandalism, the police have been informed and we will not hesitate to prosecute should a suspect be identified.”

Councillor Steve Marshall-Clarke, leader of Alfreton Town Council, added: “We have put a lot of time and effort to make the Centenary Green a nice place for residents of the town to enjoy.

“It is disappointing to see that someone doesn’t respect the area.”
