COUNCILLORS fear that four flagship play areas to be built in Newcastle could quickly become the target of vandals and arsonists.

Newcastle City Council recently announced £1.5m plans to upgrade Blakelaw Park, Riverside Country Park in Newburn, Elswick Park, and Ouseburn's City Stadium into "destination" family attractions featuring new audio, visual, and sensory play equipment.
But local authority bosses heard concerns this week that the investment could be hampered by vandalism and a lack of resources to repair damaged play parks.
