MEMBERS of a social enterprise say they no longer feel safe after vandals target their property yet again.

Digging Deeside, a gardening project run by RainbowBiz, suffered damages to one of their greenhouses at allotments in Mill Lane, Connah's Quay over the weekend and cameras were stolen along with packets of biscuits that were in the shed.

The group aims to help vulnerable people through bringing them together in a series of gardening projects and this is the latest in a spate on instances of vandalism over two years.

Sue Oliver, director, said acts of vandalism and theft have been an issue for the past few years and the need for tighter security is stronger than ever.

She said: "It's frightening, I feel targeted and I feel vulnerable. Property can be replaced but it gets us angry that they are now damaging people's health and well-being and we at RainbowBiz aim to help these people and promote equality and make them feel part of the community, yet this is what the community is doing to them."

Back in May, the Leader reported that despite the damage caused by vandals, the group were keen to continue with their work.

Daz Cook has been a regular member of the group and he said he was left shaken by the incident after discovering the damaged property on Saturday, September 22.

He said: "I came about one o'clock on Saturday, I was on my own and I was pretty scared.

"It's happening all the time and no-one is doing anything about it. I used to come here on my own because it's peaceful and a safe haven but I've not felt safe here for a long time. My voice has gone all funny too that's what this has done to me, even now and it's not good for mental health."

The CCTV and biscuits that were stolen had been donated and Sarah Way, project facilitator said it is not about the value of what was taken and has called for more security in the area.

She added: "We do encourage people to come down and help out because it's about meeting up and enjoying the place but if people are waiting to break in it's not safe.

"We've all been teenagers but this is a step too far."
