PUMPKIN; A lot of us like to have Pumpkins this time of year however we would like to remind people of what to and not to do when disposing of them...🎃🌳

Disposing of pumpkins in country parks and open spaces is more of a trick than a treat for wildlife.

Staffordshire County Council countryside rangers have noticed a growing trend in recent years of people discarding pumpkins in Cannock Chase and Chasewater country parks after Halloween, assuming they will naturally degrade and provide food for animals.

This well-meaning practice, unfortunately, can have some spooky consequences for both wildlife and park safety.

Pumpkins are not a part of the natural diet for animals or woodland or heathland areas so consuming them can make them very ill. Any decorations and leftover tealights also pose serious risks to wildlife if ingested.

Discarded pumpkins are often left uneaten and they decay on the pathways, making the ground slippery and hazardous for park visitors.

Instead of unintentionally causing harm, residents are urged to repurpose their leftover pumpkins by turning them into delicious seasonal dishes like pumpkin pie or soup or use their garden waste bin.

We are appealing for witnesses following an assault in Cannock.

We received a call shortly before 7pm on Tuesday 28 May to reports that a woman had been assaulted by a man with a wrench on Brownhills Road following a road rage incident.

The man is described as being a large build, with short brown hair and about 30-years-old. He was wearing a grey jumper and driving a white van.

The victim went to hospital following the incident but was discharged later that day.

We are keen to speak to people who may have witnessed the incident or those with CCTV, dashcam or doorbell footage of the area at the time to get in touch.

You can call us on 101 quoting incident number 509 of 28 May or by messaging us using Live Chat on our website.

To report anonymously, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Thank you ###

Whilst over the chase Officers came across an elderly couple with their grandchildren who had become lost on an isolated track. As you can imagine they were worried and cold but thanks to our NPT Sergeant and his colleague they were returned safely to their car some miles away.
