A GAMES table in a children's play area destroyed by vandals has been replaced after the chairman of the local resident's association stepped in.

Bob Rollison, chairman of LLAMA (Lambs Lane and Ashfield Residents Association), replaced the original table which had been in the play area in Trescobeas Park, Falmouth.

That table had been donated by Coun Dave Saunby from his community grant chest.

"lt's a shame that vandals destroyed the top of the original table which featured a snakes and ladders and draughts board," said Mr Saunby.

"Bob managed to salvage some of the original draughts board which he has fitted into the new table".

"The children's play area has become very popular with young children in the area, and especially with children's care and nursery groups who use the park on a regular basis, which is really good to see".
