Yet again the SHP shed has been broken into, this time the door was ripped off completely.

Following Park Run Ed, Linda and James set off to see if they could sort it out. Some theories say the vandals are looking for power tools to sell on, others say its youngsters looking for booze. Either way nothing is ever stolen so it was agreed with SHP we would put the door back up without a lock to at least put a stop to the repeated damage .

Ed removed the hinges and put them back on the outside of the door which meant it now opens and shuts a lot better than it did before. James and Linda moved the remains of a fallen tree in front of the fence where people have been gaining entry. Then Linda and James fitted a door jam to stop it swinging in while Ed fashioned a toggle so the door didn't blow open.

It felt and looked like a good job was done. Hats off to Ed for masterminding the job and kudos to James for keeping calm and carrying on despite sustaining an injury en route to task. We even helped out with a little job on a neighbouring plot. Nice work team. 😊
