A damning report says the park - popular with sunbathers and festival-goers in the summer - is also used to target women and girls.

Salopians flock to the Quarry, in Shrewsbury, to sunbathe in the summer, for festivals and concerts and for walks by the river all year round.

The concerning report comes after police confirmed an investigation is underway after a 19-year-old woman reported that she had been raped in a car in Bank Farm Road, Radbrook last Sunday evening. The report prepared by town clerk Helen Ball said:"As can be seen from the office manager’s Team Shrewsbury report all activity and incidents reported by the Quarry security and taxi marshals are fed into the Team Shrewsbury reporting channels and any key stakeholders are notified.

"Youth issues remain a cause for concern and matters have been escalated to the director of public health, particularly around the consumption of alcohol and prescription drugs. Quarry security have been involved in a number of serious incidents in the park.
