Positive Result - Groyne Wood Theft

Hi all.

We all have to say “thank you” to Swale Council – I was informed today (11th) the council have been able to confirm that they are responsible for the foreshore which includes the 4 groynes here at Eastchurch Gap.

I have been told the wood from the groynes cannot be touched or interfered with in any way and that the police have been instructed to take action if this crime is committed again by the same 2 people who are apparently making garden furniture out of the wood... 

Residents must continue to be vigilant and inform the police if they see any more of the wooden groynes being loaded from our beach into a blue Ford KA:- Get a picture if you can...

Please ensure you have seen the "almost" black looking wood section before you contact the police quoting the police incident report number 03-0911.
