Please pick up after your dog.

16th December
Our caretaker had to pick up several piles of dog poo on the field. We are sure you will agree with us that this should not be a job he needs to do, so we would again remind dog owners to keep their dogs on a lead and pick up and dispose of IN THE BINS PROVIDED any dog poo that their dog produces!
We understand that the vast majority of dog owners are responsible people and that it is only a small minority who transgress. There are plenty of bins around the field and 3 dog poo bag dispensers so there is really no excuse.
Finally we would remind everyone that there is a byelaw in force making it an offence to not have a dog on a lead and not pick up any dog mess. No-one wants us to enforce this byelaw but consideration may have to be made to make an example of anyone who can be identified who breaks the rules.
POUR ENCOURAGER LES AUTRES!
