Roof vandals
We are sad to report that, just three days after the scaffolding going up, we have had an incursion by teenage boys onto the scaffolding who have left graffiti on the church roof. The alarm went off and neighbours alerted the police. We are aware of photos circulating on social media of the vandals, and these have been passed to the police. The illustrious names of Rev. Johnson, Pearson, Penny and Rew inscribed on the roof are now joined by a rather less illustrious graffiti “tag” (intelligible squiggle).
We thank our neighbours for their vigilance, and ask everyone to keep an eye out for any intruders on the scaffolding or roof. If you see anyone who shouldn’t be there, please call 999. For non-emergency police contact, call 101, quoting incident number HC 20 01 2020 0695.
We also ask parents to try to be aware of their teens’ whereabouts at night. Aside from anything else, the roof is extremely slippery in wet weather and a night on the tiles is strongly discouraged!
