A children’s picnic bench has been stolen from a community play park in Llanwrtyd Wells, leaving the town council “devastated”.
The bench was taken from Dolwen Playing Fields on Cefn Gorwydd Road, the town’s main outdoor recreational space for children. The site includes a pre-school and toddler play area, sports pitches and the Diamond Jubilee Pavilion.
In a statement issued on Monday (June 1), Llanwrtyd Wells Town Council said the theft has been reported to police.
“We worked incredibly hard to get this bench, and it meant a lot to us and the children who used it. To find it gone is extremely disappointing and upsetting.”
The council described the bench as being made from recycled plastic and designed for children but added that it is very heavy.
They are now appealing for information from the public.
“If anyone has seen this bench, knows where it might be, or has any information at all, please get in touch with us as soon as possible. Any information will be treated in confidence,” the statement added.
The council is also urging people to share the appeal to help track it down.
