The popular Foss Fairy Trail in Heworth has suffered substantial damage in the last two weeks

The popular Foss Fairy Trail in Heworth has suffered substantial damage in the last two weeks.  Needles and drug equipment has been discarded with drug dealing taking place as well.

The project leader, Tracy, devotes around 30 hours every week to manage the project even though she works full time.  Rather than the trail being developed it is now needing to be repaired with some of the houses being thrown in the river and stolen motor scooters set alight.

York Council has rejected a request for the installation of CCTV to help Police with antisocial behaviour.
