Ley Hill Cricket Club will have to stump up to re-turf its pitch after somebody drove over the cricket pitch three nights in succession and left tyre tracks and skid marks. The damage amounts to around £600 but because the cricket pitch is on common land rather than belonging to the cricket club, they cannot claim on their insurance. The damage does not just affect the cricket club however – Ley Hill Common is well known as a local beauty spot and is regularly visited and enjoyed by hundreds of people. The vandalism has been reported to Thames Valley Police. Anyone with information is asked to call 08458 505 505.
