CHILDRENS PLAYGROUND

There have been instances recently of broken glass being found near the play equipment, together with dog fouling.  As these are both harmful and unpleasant to the young children who use the playground we would ask any members of the public who see dog fouling or bottles being broken in the play area to telephone the Clerk on 01730 813374.  Thank you for your help.
