CRAVEN District Council is urging people to report vandalism after its new skatepark in Aireville Park, Skipton, was daubed with graffiti.

A council spokesman said: “It is very disappointing that the skatepark was vandalised. We have now removed the graffiti from the skatepark and would remind users that graffiti is a criminal activity.

“We would urge users to report any vandalism to the police on 101 or to Craven District Council on 01756 700600 or contactus@cravendc.gov.uk.”
