“I want to send a message out loud and clear that this sort of activity is not OK. This sort of activity risks lives and look at the state of this play area. “Decent people who live in this community don’t deserve to put up with this.

“I’m going to get the local authority to clear this up but the police and everyone responsible for law and order in this city need to crack down on illegal parties like this.

“It is not OK.”
