POLICE REPORT
No police in attendance, no report submitted
PUBLIC SESSION:-
A member of the parish raised concern about the amount of litter being left on the play area, on the rear of the welfare site and the amount of dog mess not being picked up.
The chairman advised that we did employ a litter picker, but bins are provided for people to deposit their litter. Dog waste is a problem as it is out of sight so irresponsible owners will not pick up.
There is also damage to the equipment, The Council are aware of this, it was damages shortly after being located there, but at the moment, the cost of repairing it is substantial, knowing it will be damaged again, as we have a spate of vandalism across the parish,
