He’s been spotted standing on the corner of Blackhouse Road and Forest Road aiming his shiny new speedgun at oncoming motorists.
Grumpy was, in fact, Steve’s entry in a scarecrow competition for the village fete.
He didn’t win – but he did slow down the traffic.
And drivers better remain on their guard – because Grumpy will be replaced by a police team with a real speedgun in the next few weeks.
