KEEP ROADS TIDY

A lot of runners, walkers and people fishing have been using the local roads and amenities in the past number of weeks, and while it is great to see so many people out and about and enjoying the good weather, it is also important to keep these areas looking nice.

Please remember it is your responsibility not to litter and to pick up after your dog and dogs should be on leads at all times, then everyone can continue to enjoy our space.
