At last night's parish Plan Steering Group meeting, amongst many other things we discussed dog-do, as often left in unpleasant places around the Parish.

People may wish to know that there is a Shropshire Council consultation going on about this. It can be viewed at: www.shropshire.gov.uk/environmentmaintenance.nsf/open/19BCDA07CC85758180257B65003DBC59 .

You may wish to have a look at this if you have concerns over this matter and make representations to Shropshire Council about any locations (for instance) where repeated dog-do is a problem for you or others you know.

The parish Council has requested a reinstatement of the 2 playgrounds (Whispering Oaks and Tedsmore Road) to be included again in Shropshire Council's list of places that it bans dogs. For instance, enclosed places where children regularly play.

There is limited time, because the consultation finishes on 10th June. If you have something to say, this would be the right time. If you have difficulty finding the web site, google (or other) Shropshire Council, do control orders and follow the leads from there.

Best of luck with that.
