If you’re a subscriber to the milton-chat you will already know that there is a problem at the moment with youths firing stones from catapults.

This has been going on for some weeks now. Several houses in Milton have had windows broken and street lamps have been smashed. Stones have also been fired at rowers and birds on the river and last weekend the rangers at the Country Park had a report of a group of youths firing stones at a member of the public walking their dog.

Chesterton residents have been reporting similar problems.

So the usual reminder that the police can’t sort these sort of things out without our help and if you see anything do give them a ring. Full contact details are on the village web site.
