As part of the mitigating measures to protect the wood, you will have seen that the housing developers have erected a fence around the wood. This prevents access by deer that can damage newly planted trees and motorbikes that damage the paths. At our request, at 3 unofficial entrances to the wood that are not Rights of Way, we asked that dog-friendly stiles be installed. Within the last few days, however, all 3 have been vandalised and we have reported this to Rushcliffe Borough Council and the Police. We will continue to do our best to protect the wood from mindless vandalism by reporting these incidents and we will seek to rectify the damage, which might include blocking off the entrances entirely. If you should see any incidents of anti-social behaviour or vandalism, you can report these to the Police and Fire non-emergency number 101 or
