DAVID Duguid, MP for Banff and Buchan, has branded a recent act of vandalism on a local park as "appalling and sickening".
The Victoria Community Park in Peterhead will remain closed to allow for repairs and a full police investigation to be carried out after it was vandalised.
Smashed glass, broken benches, broken picnic benches and plants and trees were destroyed in what is the latest in a series of attacks on the park.
Mr Duguid has labelled the act as "selfish" and has made a renewed appeal for information to catch the vandals.
“It’s appalling and sickening that these mindless vandals are repeatedly targeting Victoria Community Park which only opened in April," Mr Duguid said.
“This selfish destruction is causing misery to both Peterhead Area Community Trust and the children across the town who enjoy using this valuable facility.
“If these incidents don’t stop then we will lose the park for good which would be a huge blow.
“I hope these cruel individuals responsible for this terrible act are caught and I would urge anyone who may have witnessed the incident to get in touch with the police immediately.
“Somebody out there knows who did this. These vandals should be thoroughly ashamed because they are breaking our community.”
The Peterhead Area Community Trust added: "There are certain people within our community determined to destroy anything that is good for the community."
