🐕 Grrr Bark Woof Woof 🐕

To all our canine residents and visitors,

Please could we remind you that when walking your human around our sports pitches, recreation grounds and open spaces in Wilton, you need to keep them under close control.

While we appreciate the thoughtfulness of you wanting to leave us a little brown gift, these should really be bagged up and binned 🚮

We know it`s April, and your homosapien probably doesn`t want to be outside as much as you do, but that extra 10 seconds spent scoopin` the poopin` means that our open spaces can be enjoyed by everyone throughout thet year.

Waste can be disposed of in any of the dog or general waste bins around the town.

Many thanks
Woofton Town Council 🐾
