Discovered yesterday (Saturday 14th) lying on the ground was the totem pole that was erected in Hale Park. It`s not sure if the reason for it lying on the ground is an act of vandalism or simply nature taking it`s course such as rotting, pests from within side of it or strong winds.

Upon closer inspection, it does appear to have been cleanly sawn straight off!!

Two motor bikes were heard scrambling around Hale Park for some time, on the day the totem pole was discovered lying on the ground. The motor bikes then made an exit and went up Hale High Street.
