Halloween Mess

Everybody loves to see people enjoy themselves at Halloween , however, dangerous fires are hazardous and the same request as of last year applies would the folk that created the fire at the Five Crosses  remove the load of rubbish left behind. Latton is a vibrant community with plenty of services. This vandalism needs to be halted.
