Police want to speak to these people
PC Darren White said it had been attacked twice – first on the evening of Tuesday, November 20, and then again on Saturday.
He added: "It's a fantastic building and the guys in the workshop there have built it themselves. The residents use it for bird-watching and as a quiet place to go."

He said four people in tracksuits had been captured on CCTV.
He added: "Four lads have gone up there on the Tuesday evening in the pouring rain and they have smashed the place to smithereens.
"I want to appeal for anyone with information to contact either Crimestoppers or myself.
"Somebody out there will know who's done it. It was lashing it down with rain that night. They would have come in absolutely soaked through and covered in mud."
He added: "It's a despicable crime against people who do not deserve that sort of thing to happen to them at all."
A 67-year-old resident, who was too scared to be named, said: "The grandchildren get a lot of pleasure out of bird watching. It's a terrible shock and a real shame."
Anyone with information should call PC White on 07792 437 322 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

“We could start the fightback by sterilising all 4 of them if caught. At least then we would prevent more scumbags being born of their seed”

“@Slickspoons: "They look like tough guys. I wouldn't mess" - No they don't they look like losers who need to go out and find something constructive to do with their lives.”

“They may well have been covered in mud when they returned to their hovels but its naivety in the extreme to think that they have responsible parents at home with a social conscience.
The sad reality is that these losers are the spawn of losers themselves who would probably have a good laugh about the mindless vandalism caused that night.
I hope the residents of Lark Hill get their summer house up and running again soon and the uneducated no hopers who caused the damage have a bowel loosening meeting with Karma any time in the not too distant future!”

“They are out of the same mould as folk with dogs who just let then **** everywhere.People who drive with no insurance or a ban, those who kids run amok wherevever they take them. People who spit continuously on the pavement for no reason apart from they can. People who throw their nub ends where they fancy or their gum or any paper anywhere but a bin.They are called pondlfe who do not follow the rules of society but think that society owes them something.”
