Ruffley comes to the aid of Riverwalk School

Monday, 3 July, 2006

Riverwalk School's play equipment, which was opened by David Ruffley MP nine years ago, has been vandalised twice in recent months.

David Ruffley has donated two much sought after tickets to Prime Minister's Questions to Riverwalk School so that they can be auctioned off to raise money to repair the recent vandalism.

David was so moved by the plight of the School that he decided to step in and offer the Prime Minister's Questions tickets which should raise a good sum of money for the School's annual summer playscheme.

David said:

'This was a thoroughly despicable act of vandalism and I am pleased that I was able to step in and offer some assistance to Riverwalk School.

'I can think of very few crimes more disgusting that attacking a School that does such sensitive and vital work in our local community.

'Mindless vandalism such as this can not be tolerated and I have every confidence that our police force will be making an extra effort to track down the individuals responsible.'
