BRIDGWATER’S Victoria Park Community Centre has been struck by vandalism twice within 24 hours over the weekend.

On Saturday night (March 14) a group of youths who were caught on CCTV damaged fences in the community centre car park - before posing and taking selfies, according the a statement from VPCC on its Facebook page.

A spokesman said: “As a local charity running a community centre these types of actions cause it to spend money that could be much better used elsewhere particularly in the present climate.

“We are therefore appealing to those responsible to own up and come into the centre and pay for the damage caused.”

Then at 7.40pm on Sunday evening, a group of four young people were caught on CCTV items from the clothes bank and dumping the contents on the public footpath.

In relation to the coronavirus, Victoria Park Community Centre, nursery and pharmacy remain open as of Tuesday, March 17.

However the Victoria Park Medical Centre is asking patients to call before visiting on 01278 437100.

You will also not be able to pick up prescriptions from the medical centre, but they can be sent to a pharmacy of your choice by dropping requests off in the post box.
