Reminder to Dog Owners
We kindly ask all dog owners to please clean up after their pets when using the local playing field.
Dog fouling is not only unpleasant but poses a serious health risk—particularly to young children who use the space for play—and it also impacts local football clubs, whose volunteers are having to spend at least an hour before matches and training sessions clearing the pitches. This is time that should be spent enjoying the game, not dealing with avoidable mess. Please always carry bags and dispose of waste responsibly in bins provided.
If you notice ongoing issues, you can easily report them via FixMyStreet (www.fixmystreet.com) simply drop a pin on the map, add details (and a photo if possible), and the report will be sent directly to the correct local council . By working together and reporting problems, we can help keep our shared spaces clean, safe, and enjoyable for everyone.
