People have been setting an "awful example" to children by jumping into the lake at Cosmeston Country Park and verbally abusing rangers at a country park.
Adults have been spotted jumping into the water at Cosmeston Country Park in the Vale of Glamorgan despite being asked not to by the council. When rangers have approached the irresponsible adults, they've been met with a torrent of abuse. Even worse, deliberate fires - which the council condemned as "arson pure and simple" - have been started at the popular beauty spot in Penarth.
The Vale of Glamorgan council said: "We are disappointed to learn of a number of incidents, at Cosmeston Country Park this past weekend, where adults were seen jumping in to the lake with young children. When confronted by our Park Ranger colleagues, the adults became verbally abusive toward them. This is an awful example being set by supposedly responsible adults to young children.
