Dog waste

Please pick up your dog's poo and keep our lovely village clean and safe for everyone!

The Parish Council is arranging with Lichfield District Council to install more waste bins  as there is a real problem of mess at the moment around the streets and near the Walled Garden.

We ask everyone to help bag and dispose of their pet's waste and if there is no bin nearby or it is full, please take the bag home!

Thank you everyone!
