The mystery has been solved – the mischievous group behind the stunt on a busy Ashford roundabout which has seen the model cows dressed up in Christmas decorations have been uncovered.

Drivers passing the Drovers roundabout, off Simone Weil Avenue, over the last week would have noticed that the black metal cows and the drover are now sporting Santa hats and tinsel.

The culprits behind the arty act have now owned up – they are brother and sister Alex, 27, and Natashia Whitewood, 26, and their best friends Laura Grey, 27, and Amy Kingsnorth, 27.

The foursome ventured out in the middle of the night on Monday, December 9, armed with the festive decorations after deciding the busy roundabout needed sprucing up.

Shadoxhurst resident Alex said: “We’re pretty pleased with the reaction from everyone.”
