At the Parish Council Annual meeting held on 16th May 2023, the Council reviewed the permission currently in place regarding dog owners using the playing field to exercise their pets.
It was decided that the current permission would remain as is and will continue to be evaluated on an annual basis.
The playing field is owned by the parish and administered by the Parish Council and, as it’s administrator, is able, as it currently does, to allow dog owners, with their dogs, to use the playing field. This permission is given on the implicit understanding that dogs are in their owners control and any fouling is removed. Whilst it is appreciated that most dog owners are very responsible, the Council has been informed that dog waste is not always disposed of even though bags and a waste container are even supplied for this purpose at the Council’s expense. It is hoped that this notice will act as a reminder to all pet owners to act responsibly in this regard.
