The number of cuts at the Playing Fields during the season have been increased to encourage sports for children.

There have been a number of incidents of dog fouling on the playing fields recently and people have been intercepted and warned that this behaviour is totally unacceptable.
If you witness ANYONE taking a dog onto the play areas or playing fields please take details of the date, description of the offenders/dog and the address of the offenders and the Town Council WILL prosecute.
