People living beside an old college in Chilwell have said it is a shame to see it vandalised. Parents have been urged to keep their children away from the former Nottingham College site in High Road due to it being unsafe.
Issuing the message on Thursday, June 2, Beeston Police said: "Could parents and carers please ensure their children do not go onto the grounds of the old college building on Chilwell High Road. Due to recent vandalism and criminal damage the building is considered a very dangerous and unsafe place."
A number of windows are damaged at the derelict building, which is subject to plans for student flats, and nearby residents believe it is a result of the reported vandalism. Debbie Smith, whose house backs on to the former college, said: "I haven't seen anything happen but I've seen the broken glass. It is a shame as they must have spent a lot of money on it."
