ALGECIRAS (Agencies/Photo: illustration only) A children's slide costs €2,435; the seat for a swing, €121. These are some of the prices the Council of Algeciras has had to pay in 2010 to replace vandalised facilities in the city's playgrounds. Add damage to plants, public toilets, park benches, exercise machines, street lights and the rest, and the figure comes to the €150,928.49 it paid out over the year for replacing or repairing the various municipal facilities. The worst cases of vandalism are against the children's playgrounds, especially that at El Saladillo, according to a report from the Department of Parks & Gardens. Replacement of plants alone cost €32,506.46, and 30% of all street lighting had to be replaced.
