 I am writing with much seriousness regarding Dog Fouling along Mill Lane, Chalgrove. Mill Lane is regularly used by many residents including Mothers walking with prams, the Elderly, Children and Dog Walkers and it is a lovely route to take especially in better weather. When the weather permits, Christopher and I do our best to take care of the verges adjoining our properties, yet increasingly we have to clear up the dog mess left by such dog walkers using the verges along Mill Lane as a Dog toilet. One particular troublesome area of grass runs along the walled garden of Langley Hall and directly under the window of the Gatehouse, this area is frequented by irresponsible dog owners whom do not pick up the mess their dogs leave behind. This is not only rather unpleasant for the resident of the Gatehouse and ourselves having to clear up this mess but it is a health hazard. As you know this stretch of road does not have a footpath and those using this route, do need to walk along these verges to move out of the way of ever increasingly speeding vehicles. I am appealing to all dog owners/walkers whom use this route to be responsible, pick up your dogs faeces and take it away with you to dispose of in the correct manner. With Regards
