I GO up to Keighley (Redcar) Tarn every morning to walk my dog and to feed the wildlife that frequents the place.

Unfortunately there are mindless yobs who constantly go up there on an evening to cause havoc.

One morning I parked up and as usual was confronted with rubbish that had just been thrown out of car windows, and the car park was littered with spent fireworks. Anyone with half a brain would not set off fireworks at a wildlife refuge, but these mindless idiots do.

As the council and the police have a problem with personnel, maybe the general public could go out of its way to visit the tarn and try to educate these people. But in retrospect, maybe the councillors for that area could intervene.
