Staff at a much-loved community hub and green space in Glasgow are "devastated" after a "terrible incident" of vandalism left it "desecrated".
The Bowling Green, at the corner of Maxwell Road and Kenmure Street in Pollokshields, was targeted by mindless vandals in the early hours of Monday, who tried to destroy their stove, left empty bottles of alcohol strewn around and even 'took a knife' to some armchairs.
The damage was such that those who work in the community common feel that their grounds "have been desecrated" and say they are being faced with a big clean up job.
