Speeding through the Village
The Parish Council continue to work with the Police to try and address the problem of speeding through the village. As has been the case in the past, in the main, offenders live in the village. There are an increased number of small children living in the village and the last thing we need is a fatality resulting from excessive speeding.
Fouling
Although there has been some real improvement the perennial problem of dogs fouling the pavements and verges within the village continues. Church Lane is a particular problem. Dog owners are again asked to help with this very unpleasant problem. There is now a ‘dog poo’ bin on the village green. No dogs are allowed on the Playing Field.
Security
We would ask everyone in the village to be vigilant and to report anything suspicious to the Police immediately.
