Currently there is a spate of fires being deliberately started in the woodlands in and around our area. The fire service has responded promptly on each of the five occasions and brought the fires under control. The Parish Council is extremely concerned that this continued behaviour has the potential for a major incident to cause serious damage to our area and possible risk of harm to people and property.
We respectfully ask residents to be vigilant to any observed behaviour when out walking near or in the wooded areas and report it to the council, and to report fire or smoke immediately to the Fire Service.
