A statement on the council's Twitter page said: "Our CSW @warden_liz and @Warden316 have been called out to reports of people tearing down tape on Beechwood Park, it was only put up yesterday and put there for your own safety, please be aware of government guidelines #StaySafeStayHome #keepcalderdalesafe."

Serious incidents which are acts of a criminal nature should be passed directly to West Yorkshire Police on 101.
