Box Parish Council has called for suspected vandals to stop targeting the Rudloe play area, by the community centre just off Westwood Road. This has led to criticism of the state of the play park with some residents angry about the mess left behind. Rudloe Community Group lead Phillip Rice has called for a completely new site to be constructed and believes the current play area is “not fit for purpose". These plans have been progressing since June when the proposed redevelopment of the Rudloe Community Centre, which would have included the play park, was scrapped.
