DOG FOULING
A Worksop village woman has been fined for not clearing up dog mess. A woman from Carlton in Lindrick has been fined £200 for breaching environmental health laws. Unfortunately, dog fouling is still a problem here in the village, responsible owners clean up after their pets whilst others tend to look the other way. Dog wardens are increasing their patrols in the Bassetlaw areas to try and identify who’s at fault (certainly not the dogs). Don’t leave yourself open to a £200 fine, please clean up after your dog(s).
PARISH COUNCIL
The date of the next Parish Council meeting is Wednesday 9th March at the usual time of 7:00pm in the Village Hall.
