I read about the gardens this morning, it doesn’t surprise me. I keep hearing a lot of things about it in Cotgrave. I think they’ve nothing to do. It feels there’s something different going on in Cotgrave. I’m just going by hear say. I think they take a lot of pride in the garden - they’ve got gates they lock and for them to climb over, it’s sad.”
