We would like to bring to your attention some recent acts of vandalism to Parish Council property.
We have experienced fire damage to two of the rubbish bins in the Paddock. This is of serious concern as not only has it damaged the bins which may now have to be replaced (at cost to the Parish Council) but also as this presents a great risk to the surrounding vegetation and any ‘small’ fire spreading out of control, especially so at this time of year. It is not the first time fires have been reported in the Paddock with evidence of such activity not only in the roots of trees but also under the play equipment.
We also have experienced a rather sad act of vandalism in the burial ground where someone has removed a section of grass from one of the graves. This was quite distressing for the relatives. We have been unable to ascertain why this was done or by who?
Could we ask residents to be vigilant and if you see any such activity report it to the police on 101 or inform the Clerk to the Parish Council on:
01634 363906 or by Email: clerk@upchurchpc.kentparishes.gov.uk
