HEARTLESS vandals have forced the removal of Peace Poles erected in Dunwood and High Crompton Parks.
The Correspondent understands the distinctive poles, decorated with nine languages including English, were uprooted and vandalised beyond repair.
A Peace Pole is a hand-crafted monument displaying the message and prayer ‘May Peace Prevail on Earth’ on each of its four or six sides, usually in different languages.
There are tens of thousands of Peace Poles in 180 countries all over the world dedicated as monuments to peace.
