Village Resident Has Dog Poo Bags Thrown In Garden

An anguished plea has come from village resident, Adrian Gray who resides at The Hayes, opposite Common Water Lane in Broadwindsor:
“Please can those who walk their dogs along the private track in front of my property at The Hayes please stop doing so.
I understand that the public path by the church is overgrown but since you have now taken to throwing your bagged up dog mess into my front garden, I really don’t think I should put up with your trespass anymore.”

PLEASE, PLEASE – BE A RESPONSIBLE DOG OWNER!

You can report dog fouling directly to the department at Dorset County Council online HERE.  A dog warden may then contact you and/or visit the area to assess how severe the problem is and take the appropriate action to deal with the problem.  However, local councillor David Leader has asked if you have any information on dog fouling to contact him on: 01308 868274 or 07867 608652.

A Great Big Thank You!

A great big thank you to all the wonderful people who gave up their Sunday morning to make a start on the tidy up of Bernards’ Place and the areas around the Comrades Hall. We thought we would end up with a few dumpy bags of waste but ended up with a skip load. It was a fantastic community effort. There are too many hardy soles to name everyone individually, a sincere thank you to you all.
All the play equipment is now open apart from the large swing which needs some further attention.
The baby swing has got to be removed as it does not meet current standards.
All the other equipment has had the work done to it rectify faults identified in the recent RoSPA report 🙂
There are lots of plans for Bernards’ Place and for the Comrades Hall being considered, as these plans develop we will share them with all of you for your thoughts.
With my sincere thanks

David Leader
