Quote Message: We have been speaking to our partners at Erewash Borough Council and increasing our patrols on the park. These patrols will be both high visibility and plain-clothed. The particularly upsetting part of this damage is that the offenders are spoiling a facility that is there for all to enjoy and so I would encourage anyone who knows anything about the incidents to make contact with us. from Sergeant Damien Shannon Safer Neighbourhood policing

Beast of Bolsover to stand in general election
Dave Wade
BBC Local Live
An MP since 1970, Bolsover MP Dennis Skinner has seen a lot of elections.
Now it looks like the 85-year-old is going to see another after it was announced he'll stand again in the Derbyshire seat in June.
He's given no official word as to why but during PMQs he asked for a guarantee that those Tory MPs under investigation for election expenses would not stand.
For him, failure to do that would make the whole campaign "the most squalid in my lifetime".
The MP for Erewash Maggie Throup will be holding a meeting with borough council chiefs over the vandalism.

Ms Throup said the "mindless" vandalism was carried out "by a small minority" and was spoiling what the community had to offer.
