A notice from Crudwell Parish Council:
“Crudwell Parish Council provides dog bins in Crudwell which are emptied on a regular basis. Unfortunately there are still some inconsiderate people that think it is acceptable to let their dogs foul on pavements and playing fields, or leave large bags of dog mess in public areas within the village. Please bear a thought for the Council’s team that are left with the job of clearing up the mess, and if you become aware of anyone abusing these public facilities please let the Parish Council know. People who do not clean up after their dog can be given a £50 on-the-spot fine. If they refuse to pay the fine, they can be prosecuted and may face a court appearance with a maximum penalty of £1,000. Registered blind dog owners are exempt from penalties.”
