"Not only do these costs affect the their ability to provide essential services to the community, it also threatens local services being withdrawn. Various members of the community use this building, including a pre-school.

"For the sake of the people using this centre we are urging those climbing this roof to stop and think about the impact of your action and the risk to your own personal safety.”

Anyone with information is advised to call 101, quoting 44230417668.
