A LAUNCESTON woman has expressed her disappointment and concern at the behaviour of individuals who took to vandalising property at her Ridgegrove home.

Amanda Allan woke on both Sunday and Monday mornings to find significant damage done to a conifer hedge at the foot of her garden. The hedge, which had only recently been trimmed, was found to have had branches ripped off and large holes in its structure.

Unfortunately, she said, it was a time of year that had proved problematic in the past. Both Amanda and her neighbours have had issues with vandalism in the area previously, and it's a problem she believes needs taking to hand.
