Update: Walkers warned to be careful near Binswood

Police have advised walkers in the Binswood area to be careful and walk in groups due to reports of threatening behaviour from a local resident.

Regular visitors to the area may know this has been a problem in the past. The trouble spot is at the edge of Binswood at Marshgreen Farm on the path from King John's Hill (shown here with a red oval), and it forms part of the West Worldham Loop described on the Walk Alton routes page.

Police currently have no evidence enabling further action, and they advise against any action that might provoke the resident. While walking on the path, be prepared to record the audio of any verbal interaction and, if necessary, record a video of any threatening behaviour.

We will update this post if we receive any additional information.
