DOG FOULING
Sadly some dog owners are not picking up their dog mess around the village and the sports field.
Not only is this an unpleasant sight, but it is also a health hazard and is associated with various diseases including Toxocara Canis which causes stomach upsets, sore throats and asthma.
Kids regularly play in the sports field and would you really like your children stepping on or slipping on dog mess!
Information on dog foul offences you witness can be forwarded directly to:
Jack Orwell, Waste Crime Team Officer so that he can investigate and take enforcement action.
Jack can be contacted via email at jackorwell@maidstone.gov.uk or by phone 01622-602232
ALSO
PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE YOUR POO BAGS IN THE PLANTERS OR
DISCARD THEM ON THE STREETS OR HANG THEM FROM A TREE.
MORE BINS HAVE BEEN PLACED AROUND THE VILLAGE - PLEASE USE THEM
