A council has shared its outrage after an inappropriate image had been marked out in the grass of a children’s play area.

A spokesperson from Aspatria Town Council said: “It has been brought to my attention this morning (June 11) that someone has been in the park near the children’s area and not only ruined the grass but marked it out inappropriately.

“The area has been cut by Jack this morning however we will now have to wait until the grass grows back.”

The council shared a photograph of the grass which shows what appears to be lines in the grass in the shape of genitalia.

“If anyone knows of anything please get in touch and we’ll also be checking the CCTV.

“Just so disappointing people would think to do this while we are working hard to keep Aspatria great,” the spokesperson added.
