EXCLUSIVE: The eight-foot tall wooden barrier was put up by the resident who was fed up of anti-social behaviour plaguing the entrance to the newbuild estate near Colchester City Centre.
HEAVY duty fencing has been installed at a popular beauty spot to keep out nuisance biker gangs which have plagued the area. However, residents have raised concerns about the new fencing, along Cherry Tree Lane at the entrance to Friday Woods, as a deer had to be rescued after becoming trapped. The muntjac got caught in the wire whilst trying to enter the woods from Cherry Tree Lane. Jackie Stephens said: “My neighbour freed a muntjac caught halfway through the wire. “It was crying with fear and panic and he managed to push it fully through. “Its mate was barking on the other side of the lane as it couldn’t join it.
