It’s getting ridiculous the number of fires being started in and around Peel Hall and Peel Hall Park in the last month. Two have been reported on this online newspaper this week. The other this week was at the Peel Hall Park wooden bridge.
Other incidents have been the metal bridge by the children’s play area where two pieces of equipment have been destroyed , near by at the big play area a wooden bench. Elsewhere a couple of smaller fires and in the oak wood plantation.
