One of the things that makes Mudchute unique is that it is accessible to all 24hrs a day 365 days a year, free of charge.
Over the last few weeks we have experienced an increased amount of antisocial behaviour and needless vandalism. As you know Mudchute is a registered charity, we have a small staff team and limited funds to put this kind of continued damage right.
Some of the things that our staff team have encountered this weekend is being verbally abused when asking groups to place their rubbish in bins when leaving the farm and reinforcing there cannot be any fires or BBQ’s onsite.
Last night was the worst by far with the fire brigade having to attend the farm as one of our bins was set on fire!
As well as this our memorial garden was vandalised with the pickett fence being ripped down and attempting to push over our stone fountain.
We do not mind people using the wider park once the main part of the farm is closed, all we ask is that they respect the environment by following a few rules:
• Place rubbish in the bins provided
• Do not have any fires or BBQ’s
• Do not enter any of the animal pens
• Do not feed the animals anything other than the animal feed from the farm.
• Pick up after your Dogs.
• Keep dogs on leads around the livestock.
If you know anyone that uses the farm please remind them of the above.
The above has been reported to the police and council.
Thank you to the many thousands of visitor’s who enjoy the farm in a respectful and responsible manner.
