The "Forever 7" trail is set to be completed next month to commemorate what would have been Archie's ninth birthday. However, anti-social behaviour has escalated since January, with around £6,000 worth of damage being done around the Parish Ponds. A memorial bench dedicated to Archie has been damaged by a disposable barbecue, and wooden gates have been ripped off and set alight in a bonfire. The victim's mother, Katherine Errington, has urged the perpetrators to respect the area and allow it to become a place where families from across Tyneside can enjoy spending time together.
