25 February 2021 - Reporting vandalism
Hello everyone,
We have suffered sporadic attacks of mindless vandalism in the village for some time e.g. traffic cones jammed in the river grating near the water works, cars damaged and so on. However things came to a head with the latest events last weekend when the flower box at Plaisters lane junction was pushed into the river as was a seat in Silver Street and a weather sign in Sutton Road was broken. As you also know a large quantity of books were stolen from the Telephone Box at about the same time. Although a car was mentioned parked near the Box, this was probably Tony Ferrari going about his lawful business, as he quite often stops there. He and Louie O’Leary have taken up the matter with the police on our behalf. However they realised, when they were discussing the issues that there is nothing on police files about these matters, and he says the police don’t really react except to reported incidents. So Tony asks all residents to call 101 to report any incidents of crime or vandalism they discover. If you come across something of this nature than ring 101 yourself, don’t assume that someone else will have done so. Better reported many times than not at all.
Best regards
Chris
