Dog Mess problems in Watts Green
An understandably very irate villager has complained about dog mess on the verge around the Watts Green area and is asking that all dog walkers appreciate the problems caused by dog mess and to make sure all dogs are kept on leads and that they clean up after their dog. Failure to clean up a dog’s faeces is an offence apart from the health hazard and unpleasantness it can cause.
Theatre in the Village – There will be another Theatre in the Village event in the village hall this year on Friday October 18 when Iestyn Edwards will be coming to entertain us with his musical revue – part panto dame, part clown, part stand up.
