Car selling scams locally
There have been reports of some attempted scams in our area in the last few weeks, involving local residents, quite legitimately, selling their cars via various platforms. Luckily no one fell for this scam, but we understand that it is hard to get rid of said scammers.
If you have any problems, try blocking them on your phones and email, hopefully that may make a difference.

Shoot dates in Purchase Wood, Deer Park, Brightling/Dallington
Message from Doug Edworthy, Tree Warden, Brightling and Dallington parishes:
“Forestry England have let me know of dates when there will be shooting on their land in Purchase Wood, Deer Park.
It’s in the North of the wood but best to avoid on those days, especially going off main tracks.
November 6,9,13, 16,20,23, 27,30
December 4,7,11,14, 18, 28,
January 8,11,15
People with nervous dogs, especially, might want to avoid the wood on those dates.”
