"They weren’t surprised, as apparently the gentleman that put the nails in there has done this before to try and deter [and] punish the cars that park in the car park [which] ‘cause a nuisance’.”

It was reported to the police who have made the neighbourhood team aware of the incident.

A Cambridgeshire Police spokesperson said: "We have been made aware of a couple of instances where it appears nails have been placed on the ground in the car park of Werrington Skatepark.
