PICK UP AFTER YOUR DOG: Recently there have been a number of reports of incidents where people have not picked up after their dog. Deposits have been found on pavements and verges, and worst of all by the children’s swings in Queen’s Garden. Remember - it is your responsibility to clear up after your dog so....PICK IT UP!
FOOTPATHS: There have been reports recently of people using the public footpaths around the village diverting off of the marked path into adjacent fields. Everyone is reminded that you are only permitted to use the designated marked footpaths and not any of the land around the paths, keep to the official footpaths, follow the Countryside Code, and remember to pick up after your dog. Further information on Public Footpaths and the Countryside Code is available on the village website www.etchinghamvillage.co.uk/parish-council/community-safety/footpaths
