CHILDREN have been left "devastated" and "confused" after their allotment was ruined.

Their plot on the Tugmutton Allotments site in Lovibonds Avenue, Locksbottom, was trampled on destroying all the crops on July 25.

Human excrement was also said to have been found by the plot.

Childminder Victoria Madden, of Crofton Road, Locksbottom, takes a group of 12 children aged between two and 12 to the allotment after school where they learn how to grow vegetables.

The 37-year-old mother-of-two says there have been three vandalism incidents in the last three weeks.

She said: "The children are devastated, after hours and hours of hard work too.

"All the plants have been pulled up, they are confused why someone would do this.

"Every day after school we water the plants and pick the produce, then we come home and cook them."

She added: "Human excrement was also found on a neighbouring plot."
