VANDALISM IN SPECKLED WOOD

Sadly on the 28th May the bench was destroyed by vandals kicking the back out of it leaving it beyond repair. Also 3 trees were ring barked meaning that they will now die which is awful.

The Trust contacted The Hastings Observer about this and a photo shoot took place that afternoon in the hope that someone might know who is doing this.

Friends of Speckled Wood Management Trust wish to thank Reverend Lee Duckett, Ore Church Mice, and Jo's Childminding and other members of the community who come out on that wet and muddy afternoon to show their support.

During the photo shoot for Hastings Observer. One of the kind residents of Greville Rd came up to the group and said that he would attempt to try to mend the bench. The Trust gratefully accepted this kind offer.
