​It is quite noticeable that there are many dog owners in the village who are not picking up after their dog. Whilst other dog owners may tolerate this there are many in the village who do not own a dog and have less sympathy for the unhealthy mess that is created. Smaller children in particular are at risk from the diseases that can be spread by contact. Please can you pick up after your dog, not once in a while, but always. It will be greatly appreciated and all the village will benefit.

Perhaps you have already been made aware, but by 2020, the UK Government plans to have all homes and businesses installed with smart meters through their national rollout that is currently in progress. That said, research shows that a large portion of the population are still not aware of this.
As such, in conjunction with the smart meter authorities nationwide, we are working to ensure that all local councils have all the up to date information available for their citizens, giving the nation a smoother transition and more informed idea of their options.
