FOOTBALL CLUB CRIES FOUL OVER DOGS

Councillors responsible for the Hawkinge Football Club are asking dog owners to stop their dogs fouling the football pitch in Cricketers Close.

Cllr George Hodgson told Hawkinge Parish Council at the monthly meeting (9 February) that the amount of dog mess on the field is becoming major task to clear up before matches and training sessions.

He said: "There are bags of it".

Cllr Cyril Trice has put up notices asking dog owners not to allow their pets to mess on the field.

The councillors agreed that if necessary they may have to draft new bye-laws to control it.
