Dog waste removal
It has been brought to the Parish Councils attention that there is an increased amount of dog fouling within the village. Dog waste removal is an important aspect of responsible pet ownership. It not only helps keep our environment clean and free from bacteria but also ensures the safety and hygiene of our community. By taking the time to properly dispose of your dog’s waste, you are not only being considerate to others but also helping to prevent the spread of diseases. Leaving dog waste unattended can lead to severe health risks for both humans and animals. The bacteria present in dog faeces can contain contaminated soil, water sources and even food, causing diseases such as roundworm and giardia. These illnesses are easily preventable with proper disposal methods. Please look after our community and clean up after your dog(s).
​​
Parking
It has been brought to our notice that a few vehicles are parking on the pavements in Woodton. Please be considerate when parking so as to avoid potential accidents and danger to pedestrians. Thank you.
​
Adding or contributing items to Community Wood
As everyone knows the Parish Council owns the Woodton Community Wood, which has become a very valuable asset to the village. We want everyone to enjoy the space and be respectful of its purpose as a Wood, and in particular to protect its biodiversity and wildlife. With this in mind, we would ask that should anyone wish to add or contribute an item to the Wood, be it garden furniture, trees or plants, or ornaments, they first consult the Parish Council for their consideration. Please contact the Parish Clerk by email on woodtonpc@gmail.com. Thank you for your co-operation.
