Dog Waste.

Although we will be coming to the end of the sporting calendar soon, may I remind dog owners/walkers of their responsibility to pick up after their dogs, especially where young children play sports and have a kickabout.

The Council is always receiving reports of our young children falling in dog waste on the Recreation Ground and Wasbrough Field and even on the new sports pitch on the Wellington Gate development.

We can do better than this, the Parish Council already provide 14 dog waste bins located around the sports pitches and Recreation Grounds at a cost of just under £3,000 per year, there's 32 in total around Grove altogether at just over £6,000.

If all dog owners/walkers picked up their pets mess, we wouldn't need the Dog Waste Bins, just think of what the Council could spend the money on; outside gym equipment, new play equipment in the parks, the list could be endless if we all did our bit. What a better place Grove could be....

Like every Easter, we’ll empty your bins on a different day because of the public holidays.
Remember, all collections begin at 6am, so make sure you put your bins out the night before.

Thanks to everyone who has bought a new garden waste permit.
If you’ve not already done so, please remove your old yellow permit from your brown bin and stick your new pink permit in its place on the lid. If you’re not able to remove your old permit, just stick your new one over it.
If you still need to purchase a new permit, just visit https://orlo.uk/GardenWastePermit_eRXTv
