COTON PARISH COUNCIL

The Parish Council is very concerned about the continuing nuisance caused by dogs fouling the pathways and grassed areas round the village. Whitwell Way is particularly bad and in Silverdale Avenue an elderly lady was hurt when she fell trying to avoid the mess. Despite the fact that owners are allowed to exercise their dogs only round the perimeter of the recreation ground, the central areas still have to be checked and often cleared of excrement before a football match can be played. There is no excuse for this lack of consideration which leads to a health hazard and possible blindness in young children playing on the grass. (Cont.) Please carry a plastic bag with you when walking your dog and clear up after them. Remember that, if prosecuted, you can be fined up to £1000. The recreation ground
