"Vandals" have been condemned after targeting a play area in LeedsLocal councillor says those responsible put "tiny tots" in dangerA children's play area in Leeds has been targeted by "vandals" as barriers intended to protect damaged play equipment were thrown over the wall of a neighbouring church.

Local councillor Andrew Carter stressed the urgency of replacing the equipment, warning "there's an element of speed required here" to prevent injuries from use of the broken equipment.
