A 'much loved' sculpture has disappeared from a public garden in Billericay. The ‘Child in the Park’ sculpture was previously taken from Lake Meadows in 2017, and was later found in a wheelbarrow and reinstalled. The figure of a crouching child surrounded by creatures and plants was designed by Essex sculptor John Doubleday.

Andy Barnes is a Conservative councillor for Billericay East on Basildon Borough Council, and is concerned the artwork 'may never be found'.
