The Parish Council would like to request that dog walkers be mindful of using the Sportsfield while matches or training are taking place. There have been a number of incidents recently where dogs, which were not under the close control of their owners, have caused some disruption to the playing of matches, and this has raised concerns for the safety of both participants and the dogs themselves. Please respect our sports teams and keep dogs on leads if you are unable to walk them elsewhere at these times.

The Parish Council would also like to remind all dog owners to use the dog waste bins provided. Particularly there has recently been an increase in dog waste left on the grass along The Avenue, which is obviously extremely unpleasant for our contractor when he mows the grass and is undoubtedly unhealthy for everyone. Dog waste bins are available at the entrance to the Sportsfield on Brickhouse Lane and at the entrance to the Walled Garden.
