She said: “This is an area that has been built by the children of Stonebroom Primary school and is used by them for lessons, and the community also have access to it as a peaceful place to enjoy.

“The children use the space for lessons on nature, using tools or games and other community members are quite upset. If anyone has any information about this damage please get in touch.”

Anyone with information should call PCSO Kate Hodnett on 101, quoting reference 17*213163, or send her a message online by visiting www.derbyshire.police.uk/Contact-Us/Contact-Us.aspx.
