Glass & Paper Recycling

Dogs

Please use the facilities when you can as the recycling payments received by ORAC help your Village Hall.

If banks are getting full, please report it and try not to leave bottles or litter in the area, which could attract rats

Please contact Dawn Crisp if there is a problem with any recycling bin or if the paper bank is nearly full.

If the bottle banks are getting full, please tell Andy Tanser at the Beaconsfield Arms

Please keep dogs on a lead in the village, bag their mess up and leave in the bin provided in Redlingfield Road. And keep them off the Playing Field and Play Area - use the walkway between the Play Area and the boundary hedge.

How about giving your dog a real walk once in a while and try Sue Welch's circular walk around the village (leaflets in the Beaconsfield Arms hallway or viewable at Circular Walk).
