How Lane Hedge Vandalism

Vandalism

A number of local parents have contacted me recently to alert me to the continuation of a troubling act of vandalism on How Lane.

The hedge that runs along the lane and surrounds Chipstead Valley Primary School has repeatedly had chunks taken out of it, with it being placed along the edge of the road presumably to deter parking.

When I was first made aware in September I went to look for myself - as well as the hedge remnants other detritus was mixed in including rusty chicken wire. This happened again in October and I'm told recently in January.

How Lane is just over the Croydon borough border in Reigate, but multiple eyewitnesses tell me that the culprit lives in Coulsdon. I have alerted Surrey Police and the Coulsdon Town Safer Neighbourhood Team who are taking all appropriate steps. Surrey County councillors and Reigate Borough councillors have also been made aware.

Not only is this a case of clear vandalism, potentially hazardous to vehicles, and creates waste that could block our already struggling sewer system - but it also creates a child safeguarding issue with holes in the hedge meaning the field is there for all to see. 

It is completely unacceptable. If you see it happening again, and have any evidence (photos/videos etc) then please do send them on to me or Coulsdon Town SNT using mario.creatura@croydon.gov.uk and snmailbox.coulsdontownsnt@met.police.uk.

I was pleased to join Heather Lindsay Chair of the SRA in tidying up the library garden.  We spent a couple of hours cutting the grass, cutting back the brambles and overgrown shrubs and sweeping the steps.
