Though the number of dog fouling incident reports has slowed, there are still too many episodes on rights of way within and around the village. These continue to occur even on the pavement leading to the school, which is most unpleasant.

If you are a dog walker PLEASE take responsibility for the animals under your care, and ensure that you clear up behind them.

Not cleaning up after your pet is both anti-social and highly irresponsible, and please note that collecting your dog's droppings in a bag and then leaving the bag somewhere along the footpath does NOT constitute sociable behaviour either!
