Police appeal to parents about dangers of children hanging around derelict garages
Police are appealing to parents to warn their children about the dangers of hanging around derelict garages in Melton Mowbray.
Officers have received reports about young people going into garages at the end of Edendale Road, close to Kirby Lane.
Pc Ryan Hill, of the Melton Town South Beat Team, posted on the force Facebook page: "The garages are in a poor condition and there is visible damage to some of the roofs.
"There are also concerns regarding the roofing materials, which if damaged or disturbed could potentially be hazardous to health.
"For their own safety, we would ask parents and carers to please speak with their children and remind them not to enter, climb on, or interfere with the garages or roofing materials.
"We are working with Melton Borough Council to address the concerns and find an appropriate solution.
"Please help us keep our young people safe by sharing this message with anyone whose children may use the area."
