Borough Council seeking funding to restore vandalised Labyrinth

Bedford Borough Council has told the Bedford Independent that repairs to the wooden Labyrinth at Priory Country Park cannot take place until additional funding has been found.

Many of the wooden panels have been damaged by vandals, causing locals to question when repairs will be made.

Park user, Jonathan Ward took to Facebook, commenting, “Anyone know if/when the maze at Priory is being fixed? So many planks have been removed it’s more shabbyrinth than labyrinth right now.”

A spokesperson for Bedford Borough Council said, “Over the summer period there was a lot of vandalism to the Labyrinth at Priory Country Park.

“Due to the unplanned nature of these repairs we are exploring funding opportunities to restore the parts of the Labyrinth that have been vandalised.

“Anyone with any information as to how the Labyrinth become vandalised please contact the police on 101.”
