Mistreated School grounds could be closed to the public

Use it responsibly or lose it - Say Government

Use it responsibly or lose it.

That's the message from the Department of Education and Children who say if schools grounds are mistreated then they will be closed.

The grounds at the Island's 40 schools are open to the public during school holidays.

Anti - social behaviour and vandalism have been reported in the past and this year the government are cracking down on nuisance behaviour.

They say if anti -social behaviour gets reported again they may be forced to consider whether the use of the school grounds by the public can continue.
