Maybe get some wolf or big cat shit from a zoo and place it on their runs into the fields, see if that has any effect. They’re a pain in the arse when they start tearing up playing fields.

Ain’t gonna happen they ain’t got funds it’s only a tiny wee community school thing, last bit of greenery on the yard as rest is concrete, they will simply conrete over this part now, sad really but luckily the school is surrounded by countryside so it’s not a great loss to them Quote Link to post
