"Llandybie Community Council had replaced areas of safety surfacing twice already only for mindless acts of vandalism to once again see the surface torn up."

He added: "Despite the continual efforts to maintain the surface for the children's safety, there would seem to be a minority of people determined to cause damage."

The incident has been reported to the local police for investigation.
