A spokesperson for Ford Park said: "On Wednesday night a resident reported to the Ford Park team that a glass bottle had been smashed and left on part of the children’s play area.

"As a precaution, we felt it necessary to warn the public that the area would be unsafe until the team had had chance to clear the broken glass.

"I’m pleased to say that this was done as the team’s first job on Thursday morning and the area is now, once again, safe for use.

"Whilst the reason for the broken glass on Wednesday night isn’t known, we would like to encourage people to always let us know if they see anything unsafe in the park so our team can resolve the problem right away."
