By Geoff Fisher I am devastated to read the news item Badger poisoning suspected on field planned for housing (Reepham Life, 11 July 2019) regarding the field opposite the cemetery.
I am a member of the newly formed Norfolk Badger Trust, and our chairman checked and recorded the presence of this badger sett earlier this year. It was obviously very active and quite extensive.
As Helen Lindsay says, it is a criminal offence to interfere, trap or poison badgers, and there is a wildlife crime officer in Norfolk to whom any suspicions should be forwarded.
