Metal Theft
Recently, there has been a theft of some items of metal from a plot near the road on the upper part of the site. Please be on the look out - it's the usual open back truck but it appears these people had a gate key. Despite this could everyone make an effort to lock gates when they enter and leave the site - and do call the Police with the registration number of any vehicle you suspect is intruding on our site.
Vandalism
In the past there have been several incidents of vandalism on the Highcliffe plots. If you witness or are victim of any vandalism, please report the incident to the police by phoning 101. They will take it seriously, however small the incident.
Japanese knotweed alert
The dreaded Japanese knotweed is present on our site. More details about the pernicious weed and how to eradicate it are on the 'Useful links' section on the Suppliers & links page.
Please let the secretary know if you find it anywhere on the site. Thank you.
