"This morning I’ve been made aware of significant graffiti and vandalism that took place in the Forum Play Park last night. Due to the explicit and disgusting content of the graffiti, the park will be closed until further notice until the council have cleaned this up.

I will be speaking to the PSNI about this issue as well as the ongoing anti social behaviour in this area at night.

I am aware that the police are investigating this incident. This is a park used by everyone in the District and this disgusting behaviour will not be tolerated."
