It is understood council will be considering their options at their next ordinary meeting.

One man had $1000 worth of damage done to his tractor while a woman from Parkes had her windscreen smashed, costing her $800. Other vehicles received dents and scratches.

Police apprehended the children and have notified the Department of Family and Community Services. They are encouraging members of the community who identify offenders to make a witness statement.

Mayor Rod Buhr said council had received numerous complaints from the public in relation to the skate park.

"There is a gang of young people using the skate park as a base from which they throw rocks at passing vehicles," he said, adding that a number of vehicles had been damaged over the past two weeks.

"I raised the issue at last week's council meeting and suggested we cost putting a fence up around the facility so we can physically close the park if necessary. This problem has been ongoing since the park was built some seven years ago... many people agree that the skate park was built in totally the wrong location."

At last week's council meeting Councillor Alison Conn said a holistic approach also needed to be taken to the issue of rock throwing, adding that it will continue beyond the skate park.

"They congregate around the library, they congregate around WINS, they congregate around McDonalds," she said.

"We need to show them the consequences -of dying," she said, adding that in previous years the PCYC had run a program which told the story of victims of rock throwing."PCYC is running a Friday night program. These kids are there, that's what we need to start attacking it."

One man was irate last week when his new car worth $52 000 had rocks thrown at it with only 5 1/2kms on the clock.

Meanwhile, other residents are concerned that it's only a matter of time before someone gets hurt.

"I have heard truck drivers say they will not slow down, they will hit them," one resident said.

"Other truck drivers refuse to come to Wellington."
