Friends of Ashenground and Bolnore Woods said on Facebook on Wednesday, April 5, that there had been ‘another act of vandalism overnight’.

The spokesperson said: “The bottom rail on the fence at the side of stream on Bridleway has been broken off and discarded in the stream. If you have a small child or dog off the lead when passing over the stream, please be careful, as the gap is at low level.”

They said Mid Sussex District Council were aware and would replace the rail.

Friends of Ashenground and Bolnore Woods also sent the Middy a photo of a dog waste bin that looked like it had been set alight. They said both incidents have been reported to MSDC’s Anti-Social Behaviour team.

The MSDC Rangers have been approached for comment. The Friends ask residents who see vandalism taking place to report it to police.
