Residents on the Moreton Hall had a rude awakening after bird scarer devices we left to detonate in the early hours of Sunday morning

The Bird scarer banger ropes, which are meant for agricultural use and are designed to mimic the sound of a shotgun, making loud bangs, were said to have been set on delay fuses and left in Bushes around the estate.

Police spent a couple of hour searching for the devices and have warned the public not to go near the explosive devices if they are found.

Cllr Frank Warby has invited residents to a meeting, to have their say, with police on 24th September in the community centre
