I WAS saddened to hear of the fire that destroyed the popular bird hide at Risley Moss.

I can remember many happy days there as a child with my family and it remained a place I liked to visit from time to time.

So it was awful to hear of what happened.

What drives people to behave like this?

It seems it will cost £200,000 to repair it (probably more as time goes on) so it is unlikely you would suspect that it will ever be replaced.

Where would the council get that sort of money in this day and age?

We have lots of great parks in Warrington that we can and should be proud of.

Let’s look after them properly rather than allow them to be destroyed.

Hopefully whoever has done this is caught and brought before the law before they strike again.
