Lake Clear Up by Volunteers
The Lakeside Volunteers have been hard at work once again , making sure the lake and its surroundings are spruced up, clean and tidy and ready for the winter and next year! The Lake Clear up took place over the weekend of the 1st and 2nd of September, and much vegetation was cleared around the lake by the volunteers ,led by Mrs Marion Williams. The ground around the lakeside was repaired and any rubbish cleared and disposed of. As a result the lake continues to look its best as a valuable natural asset for the village. Thanks go to all volunteers , those who carried out the clearing work and those who prepared refreshments,to MYPAG for supplying the shredder, and in particular to Miss Marion Willams who does a marvellous job of organising the clear up and overseeing the lake for any issues arising throughout the year.

Dog Fouling
Unfortunately we have to report that some dog owners are allowing their dogs to foul on Allington Park, including the children's play area, and are not picking up after them as the law requires them to do. There are signs around the field advising dog owners of their responsibilities. This presents not only a nuisance but a real threat to health of children, and to those engaged in cutting the grassed areas. Please will dog owners be reminded that they must pick up their dog's mess when walking in this area and dispose of it in the bins provided. Your co-operation is appreciated. If anyone wishes to report any occurrences of repeated offending, please contact the Clerk.

any data captured by the CCTV cameras can only be released to the Police or other
