A Friends of Inchyra Park spokespersion said: “The community and our volunteers are all gutted this has happened again. The large trees at the moment are costing over £400 each to replace – a cost we can't afford.
"We are a community group just trying to make the park better for the community. We as a group have been working quietly behind the scenes for months for CCTV to be installed, with support from our community council, local council officers, elected members, local police and our MSP.
"Most importantly, we thank our community for reporting everything and wanting to protect the hard work that happens in the park. The CCTV isn't a silver bullet but a move in the right direction
