Local residents are ‘concerned’ about fires being set in woods near them. Nottingham Police have been patrolling the Sharphill Woods in Edwalton after reports of deliberate fires being started. The 23-acre woodland is designated as a local nature reserve and is a popular spot for dog walkers.
“It really isn’t good that people are doing things like this,” said Jane Mears, a professional dog walker. “It’s such a lovely area. Because of my job I come here most days, so I really hope they do something about it."
“I do think that they need to put more signposts up to let people know that they can’t have fires here because I reckon some will just be doing it innocently,” the 57-year-old added.
