THE mayor of Holsworthy has expressed his shock after a motorist took their car on to the land near the skate park.

Cllr Nigel Kenneally, the mayor of Holsworthy, said that the actions of the driver, who had breached a bollard in order to drive on the land, was ‘incredibly irresponsible’ with actions that could ‘endanger lives’.

He added that he would be seeking to get the demolished bollard which would ordinarily prevent access replaced as soon as possible.

Cllr Kenneally said: “It is incredibly irresponsible to drive around by the skate park. Children of all ages use the skate park and actions like this endanger their lives. I will be seeking to get the bollard that prevents access replaced as soon as possible.”
