Following a number of comments on the Effingham Residents Association website, and on the GetSurrey website, the article about rats being spotted around the KGV playfields has been removed from the GetSurrey website.

And they have now apologised: https://www.getsurrey.co.uk/news/surrey-news/correction-regarding-story-rats-playing-14718518#ICID=IYA
