  • Thank you for letting us know. We will carry out a site visit and also let the landowner know - who may be the Parish Council or the school

  • A site visit has been undertaken and the metal sprayed. This seems to be in the grass of the recreation ground rather than within the path which turns hard left after the kissing gate (see snip attached). We will contact the parish council who we believe manages this recreation ground.
