Dog waste
Please pick up your dog's poo and keep our lovely village clean and safe for everyone!
The Parish Council is arranging with Lichfield District Council to install more waste bins as there is a real problem of mess at the moment around the streets and near the Walled Garden.
We ask everyone to help bag and dispose of their pet's waste and if there is no bin nearby or it is full, please take the bag home!
Thank you everyone!

October update
The Parish Council meeting began with an update and discussion about drainage at the 7 Acres site and risk of future flooding onto adjacent properties.
The County Council are working with the contractors and it was agreed that our District Cllr Harry Warburton would also update the District Council.
An application has been made to HS2 for a grant for playground refurbishment to benefit the community at a time when the area is disrupted by construction.
As part of a long term plan to improve the facilities at the Sportsfield a survey will shortly go out so residents can tell us what improvements they'd like to see there.
Many more topics were discussed - please see our Minutes or better still come along to the next meeting on 14th November.
