Neighbourhood police say they are concerned by reports of children who have been spotted on the site, in Doulton Road, Rowley Regis.

Patrols will be stepped up at the site by officers who say the site has become a 'playground'.

A spokesman for the Rowley and Tividale police team said: "Youths and younger children seem to consider this dangerous site as a playground – the inherent dangers do not need pointing out but if you are the parent or guardian of any of these children, please educate them as to the risks.

"Positive action will be taken and patrols stepped up."
