Police and council officers will step up patrols at schools and nurseries in West Dunbartonshire in response to “a relentless spate of vandalism and antisocial behaviour.”
The move comes after a fire at Gavinburn Primary School and Early Learning and Childcare Centre in which vandals destroyed thousands of pounds in resources last month.
Valuable children’s resources including external play equipment, wellington boots and playsuits for outdoor play were also lost due to the blaze and there was significant damage caused at the entrance to the ELCC, including to external lighting and the alarm system.
