Dilwyn Parish Council
Dogs (Fouling of Land) Act 1996
Once again the Parish Council has had reports of an increase in dog waste in Dilwyn and notably on the Village Green, but also on the Play area. These are area for public use and are played on by the village children. Not only is the presence of dog waste unpleasant and a nuisance to those of us who have to clean it off our shoes or mowing equipment, but it presents a health risk
We remind people that it is a finable offence with fines up to £1000 for dogs to foul in the areas of land specified below:-
a) All footpaths, footways and carriageways maintained at
public expense
b) All grass verges, shrub beds and tree bases maintained
at public expense
c) All parks, play areas and leisure land owned by the council.
If anyone does witness a dog fouling in the village and knows who the owners are please contact the Parish Council and we will take legal action against those individuals.
Could we remind you to carry a supply of plastic bags and dispose of your dog’s waste hygienically.Thank you

Clerk to Dilwyn Parish Council

During August, the greater part of the wall beside the road
has been rebuilt to prevent further erosion of the bank and potential
undermining of the Hall car park. The Hall Committee received a grant from
the Parish Council that covered half the cost of the work and thanks Graham
Dyer for providing the stone for free as well as completing the wall to a high
standard. Thanks should also go to the Dilwyn Show Committee for
providing a donation which also helped with the cost. The brick path that leads
to the school has been repaired and the side walls at the top of the steps have
been made more substantial in order to improve safety.
