Vandalism skadade gräsbanor på Devonshire Park inför Eastbourne Open

En handling av vandalism har skadat flera gräsbanor på Devonshire Park i Eastbourne, drygt en månad innan Lexus Eastbourne Open inleds den 22 juni. Stephen Holt, ledare för Eastbourne Borough Council, beskrev händelsen som en upprörande och tanklös vandalisering. Säkerheten har stärkts samtidigt som polisen granskar övervakningsfilmer för att identifiera de ansvariga.

Skadegörelsen inträffade under förberedelserna för den prestigefyllda grästurneringen, som fungerar som en viktig uppladdning inför Wimbledon. Kommunanställda arbetar med att reparera banorna och säkerställa att de är redo att överlämnas till LTA i tid till evenemanget.
