vandalism
New Plymouth Riding for the Disabled finally achieved their goal of a covered arena in January this year. It is a huge asset to our organisation, and we haven’t had to cancel a session due to bad weather since.
This all came to fruition through funding applications, sponsorship, fundraising, and a lot of hard work from individuals and volunteers.
It was disappointing and disheartening to arrive at our grounds on Tuesday to find parts of the arena had been senselessly vandalised sometime overnight.
The pictures are of slashes made in a wall, and a wooden gate in the arena fenceline was wrenched off its hinges and thrown in the nearby creek.
If you saw or heard anything suspicious at our venue at Barrett's Domain on Tuesday please contact our President - Kevin Neilson 0272737534
Thank you.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
