Break Ins on the site

Chris, the Community Warden, visited the site this morning and walked round with me, viewing the various points where people could gain access. Chris suggests that the most recent incidents, where padlocks have been forced, suggest something other than vandalism but its puzzling that nothing seems to have been taken - at least as far as has been reported to me.

Chris is very enthusiastic and keen to help. He has direct access to the Sussex Police crime logs and he is willing to make the necessary reports provided he is given full details. He is also very proactive in his duties, and is willing to consider regular evening visits and even to spend a night in his van, doing regular patrols. This kind of high visibility activity is much more of a deterrent to would-be criminals than even the strongest fencing.

To help him, and to help ourselves, please let me know of any incidents, however trivial, from vandalism through crops being stolen and breakins with theft of equipment. I will act as the central point of reference on the site and pass everything onto Chris. You can post on here and I will pick it up on mobile, or if you send me a pm I will give you my mobile number (I won't post that in public on the internet for fear of being swamped with all sorts of interesting propositions), or you can talk to me on my plot 6B.

Thanks to Chris and the Town Council for responding to our complaints.

Thanks Helen for providing this notice.
