VANDALISM which included pictures of a swastika and rude images has been removed from a West Fife play park.

Dunfermline North councillor Gavin Ellis spotted the obscene pictures on play equipment at Wellwood Play park when he had stopped off there with his young sons.

After contacting Fife Council's parks department, a team was sent out the following day to remove the images.

"It has clearly just been kids mucking about and I am not sure they even fully understand the history and context behind the symbol (the swastika) especially with events going on in the world just now," he said.

"I emailed the parks team while I was on site and they came back to me and said, especially with the nature of the graffiti, it would be removed the following day."
