Due to repeated vandalism and criminal damage the local council has been forced to install fencing and warning signs around All Saints Church in Ridgmont, Bedfordshire. Furthermore, the area around the church is now patrolled by the police.
A spokesman for the council said: “To protect the building and keep the site safe, we have put up security fencing and warning signs to prevent entry until further notice. We apologise for the inconvenience, but public safety is paramount.”
