Possible deer poaching 31.07.22

 

Two quad bikes accompanied by lurcher dogs were seen and heard on the Glazier’s Forge track in Dallington Forest by a number of parishioners around 6:30 to 7:30 am on the morning of Sunday 31st July.

The quad bike riders are likely to have had transport located in the Earls Down area where the Glazier’s Forge track meets the B2096.

Did anyone notice a vehicle with or without a trailer parked on the roadside or laybys close to this location on Sunday morning? If you have any information, please let the Rural Crime team know. You can contact PCSO Stephen Skerman at [email protected] or Dallington Parish Council via [email protected] who will pass the information on.

Summer 2022 – serious risk of fires

You will have all seen the tragic images of the recent fires in the UK, caused by very dry and hot weather.
This year, we in Dallington, have let our verges, triangles etc., remain uncut much longer to enable wild flowers to seed and we have a great deal of VERY dry grass during this hot weather.
Please remember and take extra care with:

  • Barbeques
  • Garden fires
  • Check your compost heaps (they can self-ignite)
  • Move your mirrors/glass in line with the sun through your windows
  • Cigarettes thrown from cars are an incredible fire risk at the moment

Please bear the above in mind and anyone working for you that the village of Dallington is now like a tinderbox and will probably be like this all Summer.

Please do take care.
