BADGERS have been wreaking havoc to produce grown by allotment holders in Prince Charles Road, and it seems that they particularly like sweetcorn.
The badgers are gaining access through small holes in the bottom of the concrete fence which divides the allotment from the old railway sidings at Exmouth Junction and Ken Cann, chairman of the allotment association, said that he can't remember any maintenance being carried out on the fence in all his 37 years as an allotment holder.
However, a spokeswoman for Network Rail has told Community News: "With thousands of miles of railway track and its associated infrastructure to manage across the country, we welcome any information from members of the public which helps us keep it in full working order.
"We have informed our maintenance team of the concerns raised in relation to the fence and they will look into the issue.
"If members of the public want to bring anything to our attention, they can contact the Network Rail national helpline on 08457 114141 at any time."
