Thieves steal wood from scout bonfire

A local scout and cub group was victim to wood thieves last weekend.

Timber pallets were delivered to Stephen Hill Scout Group last Friday afternoon in preparation for their fundraising bonfire on Sunday night in Calver Field, off Hagg Lane.

But between Friday and Sunday the wood went missing, forcing organisers to go ahead with fireworks but no bonfire.

The annual event raises valuable funds for the group.
