SKATEBOARDERS in Stow have been warned by police to keep away from the town's historic ancient market cross, which has been damaged by their antics.
PC Chris Skinner told Stow Town Council that skateboarders have been using the the cross as a "grinder" damaging its Cotswold stone base.
"We have spoken to one youth and he won't be skating there again. It's an ongoing process of educating children," said PC Skinner.
Police acted after complaints from local residents.
