Reported loose animals on the highway this week is 0.
This is only the 2nd time I have had no reports, please keep it up.
Please check your boundary hedges and fences every day, this applies more so of late because the ground is so wet, fences push over much easier.

WORDS OF ADVICE
A Sussex resident was approached by two males in a French registered vehicle and asked if they had any tools that required sharpening. Several were taken and a business card with Tools & Repair printed on it was handed over. Sadly no price was mentioned but the next day they returned with some of the tools and asked £400, and told him that they required another £450. Our resident felt quite intimidated. This is a scam so please be aware and say no if they should contact.
A long wheelbase Mitsubishi Shogun that was stolen from Hastings was found and recovered in the Ashford by Kent Police after being possibly involved in criminal offences.
