The owners of the land behind Gatehouse Lane have informed the Chairman that they have decided to withdraw access to the old railway line via the field behind Gatehouse Lane. Access was originally allowed through a permitted access route which expired in 2011. They allowed access to continue through goodwill but have recently decided to withdraw this as some people were allowing dogs to run in the crops and were not clearing up after them.

A local farmer has reported that a number of sheep have died, most likely due to helminth infection. This is probably due to them being in contact with dog waste. This can be prevented by six monthly worming of dogs.
Please could owners of dogs using the Woodland Walk not let their dogs go on the arable area adjacent to the walk.
