NOTICE TO RESIDENTS

The Poland Charity is working hard to improve the amenities of the village by maintaining the land by the river and helping the Bowls Club update their facilities.

There are however a group of people causing damage running into hundreds of pounds, the latest being to cut down a number of trees planted less than two years ago and putting them on a bonfire. A short while ago, the new bowls green was damaged with equipment thrown in the river, further damage caused to trees and shrubs and to an elderly lady’s garden close by.

If it is you causing the damage then STOP. Trustees of the charity will inform the police and seek compensation if it is discovered who you are. Parents should be aware that information to date indicates that a group of young people known locally as the 'DRUGGIES' may be responsible. If it could be someone from your household, talk with them and in the unlikely event that they admit responsibility please point out the error of their ways. If there is a youngster in your home please talk to them about the stupidity of senseless damage. Youngsters say the area by the river is being used to abuse drugs. Those responsible will have muddy footwear!

If you know who is causing the damage you can tell Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 without giving your name or contact WPC Wells at Dorking Police Station 01306676351.

We are all volunteers trying to make your environment a better place – please support us.
