Vandalised memorial tribute to tragic Bestwood teen had to be removed

A Nottinghamshire playground has had its sign replaced after it was vandalised. Andy's Adventure Playground in Bestwood was set up by Sue Maycock in honour of her son Andrew, who died aged 16 in 2000.

Andrew was about to join the army when he was tragically hit by a car in Stevenholme Crescent, Bestwood Park. Sue raised money for the playground which opened in 2002, and it underwent a recent revamp in 2019.

There is a sign at the playground which says Andy's Adventure, helping to keep his memory alive to those who visit the park. Sadly earlier this month, the sign was vandalised and had to be removed.
