Dear Friends
I had a call this afternoon from the owner of the set-aside field. His tractor, parked by the pill-box has been vandalised by cutting the leads on the starter motor. He suspects this may be a reaction to the realigning of the fence at the bottom of the field as several of the posts have been removed and thrown into bushes. He wants to make it clear that he has no intention of withdrawing the permissive path round the field, and I have offered to cut a new path so that there should be no interruption of our enjoyment of this privilege. I cannot believe there is anyone in Lackford who would do such a silly act of vandalism, and suspect it is probably youngsters from outside the village. It would be such a shame if we lost the permission to walk round the setaside through someone else’s bad behaviour. Please keep a watchful eye (and ear) to help prevent further vandalism. If anyone has information about this incident, please tell Mr Aitkens or the police.
Kind regards
Colin Smith
