why do people insist on putting dog mess into plastic bags & then throwing the plastic bags into the undergrowth? Surely better just to leave the dog mess to decompose than have plastic bags littering the place. I am NOT a dog owner and was disgusted at the dog mess here. GET IT SORTED!

The woods are excellent for dog walking and families.However care should be taken due to motor bikes, usually on a Sunday. The police are aware of this increasing and dangerous problem. I have observed parents having to take hold of children, dogs being put on leads as 10-15 motorbikes drive past at high speed.
