Dear Reader,

Everyone has been through a lot this past year, and many have had the joy and companionship of a furry four-legged friend who has joined them on their moments of exercise out in the lovely countryside.

But unfortunately, the downside and consequence of this, is that there is now excessive amounts of dog excrement left behind. Regrettably, it has been reported that there is, in particular, an abundance of uncollected dog poop in the Ridlington Playing Field and along the village lanes. We all know that the majority collect their dog’s “little package” but it is those few who don’t that are creating this unhygienic and unsightly mess.

Therefore the Trustees of the Ridlington Playing Field would like to kindly and politely remind dog owners to take their responsibilities seriously and pick up after their dogs.

Please help us to keep our playing field and village safe and clean. Remember to take your dog’s poo bag with you at all times. You can deposit the waste in the black waste bin provided in the Playing Fields.

Dog fouling is not only unsightly and unpleasant, it can be harmful to people and other animals. Did You Know… Dog waste can carry parasites such as ringworms, salmonella and tapeworms. Dog waste has also been known to contain E coli and other harmful bacteria.

So with this in mind and in light of the current circumstances, we would respectfully ask that you clean up the “little package” your four-legged furry companion leaves and dispose of it responsibly.

PLEASE BAG IT AND BIN IT
OR YOU RISK STEPPING IN IT!

THANK YOU FOR HELPING TO KEEP OUR BEAUTIFUL VILLAGE CLEAN AND SAFE.

THE TRUSTEES
