Withington Parish CouncilThe Parish Council AGM was held on 7th May. Among the itemsdiscussed was the exercising of dogs in the playing field. This issomething which comes up quite regularly. Please be aware that dogsare not allowed in the playing field(with the exception of guidedogs).There are signs which state that dogs are not allowed but someresidents have been ignoring them. We have new play equipmentwhich is not fenced off from the rest of the field and it is veryunpleasant as well as dangerous if children are in contact with dogfaeces. Also the main field is used by children and adults to playcricket and other games. It is also forbidden to ride motor bikes on thefield as has been happening recently. If you have information on thesematters or wish to contact the Parish Council on any othermatter the Parish Clerk can be contacted by e-mail [email protected]
