VANDALS have struck again in a beautiful Laois village, destroying the hard work of volunteers.
A speeding car crashed into one of the large flower displays in Clonaslee this morning and drove away, leaving the container smashed in pieces on the pavement.
Clonaslee Tidy Towns is appealing for witnesses and has contacted gardaí, following the incident this morning.
The group said: ‘It takes a lot of hard work to maintain our village and to see this vandalism is disheartening.’
The incident happened at 10.15am, when a red car crashed into one of the carefully tended flower pots at Slieve Bloom Park, causing considerable damage.
It is the second time in the past few months that flower pots have been damaged in the area, which does not have CCTV.
Posting photos on social media, Clonaslee Tidy Towns said that gardaí have been notified. Anyone with information is asked to contact gardaí or private message the group’s Facebook page.
