Damage to the hedgerow at Stychbrook Park

Local residents have also called for swift action after damage was caused to hedgerows and pathways were around the site were left blocked off.

> “I watched them speeding up and down the park in their vans and they ended up crashing through the hedgerow at the bottom onto the footpath behind, nearly going through a garden fence.  
>  
> “Luckily no innocent person was hurt, but they could have killed someone.”

There have also been reports of children from the group using the play areas which were sealed off as part of coronavirus restrictions.
