Vandals trash Dundee community nursery as police launch probe

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Vandals have targeted a community nursery building in Dundee just weeks after it was set up. The thugs smashed a huge window in a brand new hi-tech pod at the Old Fintry Nursery.

The £65,000 building was only delivered to the site on Fintry Road last month.Police have been informed about the attack and are investigating.

The damage is even more heartbreaking because of the community focussed ethos of the new facility that lay derelict for a decade.Bosses at Flexible Childcare Servcies Dundee intended to use the damaged pod as a hub for an outdoors afterschool club for local children to use.But that will have to be put on hold until the damage to the window - thought to run to hundreds of pounds - has been fixed.As well as the out of hours school club there are plans to develop develop the Fintry Nursery's out buildings and gardens to create a range of community initiatives including a two storey space which will house a community workshop, office spaces as well as creating a community courtyard garden.These additional spaces will enable them to serve the Fintry community through several needs-based initiatives, such as social inclusion, loneliness, and mental wellbeing.DundeeLive brings you the latest headlines from Dundee and beyond.But did you know you all the ways you can stay informed with us?You can get our top stories sent straight to your inbox with our daily news updates.
