Bag it and bin it! Dog owners are asked to bag and bin their dogs' waste to keep the village clean. Dog mess poses serious health risks. It can carry roundworm - containing the parasite Toxocara canis which can cause blindness, epilepsy, asthma and infections. So it's vital to reduce dog fouling to protect others, particularly children. Failing to clean up after your four legged friend when in a public space is an offence. If your're walking your dog please take a doggy bag, pick up after your dog and use the dog waste bins provided around the village. If you are aware of the address of any dog owner who does not clean up after their dog, please email dog.fouling@dacorum.gov.uk with the relevant details. ____________________________________________________________________ Police and Crime Commissioner for Hertfordshire To view an open letter to the people of Hertfordshire from the Police and Crime Commissioner David Lloyd, please see the link below: David Lloyd also remains Borough and County Councillor for this parish. ____________________________________________________________________ NHS contact details It's not a 999 emergency, but you need medical help fast.

Safer Neighbourhood Team
Yes we know we have said it many times but no apologies for repeating that we really are very fortunate to have such a dedicated team covering the Watling Ward. PC Brian Evans, PCSO Mark Green and Rural Officer Richard Down have successfully detained suspects for many of the crimes reported in the area and continue to deal with drug offences robustly. We have at least one of the officers in attendance at every full Council meeting where we receive reports, ask questions and generally mention any incidents which we feel should be noted. Their positive presence is felt within the village, and is the best deterrent to criminals. Congratulations to the Safer Neighbourhood Team on the positive crime clear up rate and thank you for being a professional, dedicated and reliable team. Meet your local PCSO at the Fire Station on Wednesday 20 February 2013 between 13:00 to 14:00. _____________________________________________________________________
Grit Bins We regularly inspect the nine grit bins in the village and our last inspection was carried out during the second week of January 2013, we can confirm all grit bins were sufficiently filled in the event of snow. We would remind all parishioners that the grit in these bins is for use on the highway only and not for private use. _________________________________________________________________________ |
