A North Ayrshire community group has shown its anger towards vandalism of a festive display saying it puts future events “at risk”.
Irvine Events shared the news on December 17 on their social media condemning the incident that affected the Winter Wonderland set-up at the town’s Bridgegate.

The group’s post assured that anyone identified in causing the incident will have “appropriate action” taken against them.
CCTV footage around the area are being reviewed to investigate the matter and identify those responsible.
