We are getting a lot of reports about dog fouling in Timberscombe that is being left on paths, roads and in bushes.

Please pick up any pet faeces AND Dog WASTE bags.

Please note that: Dog waste bags marketed as compostable are generally not fully compostable. While they are designed to break down in specific compost environments, many of these bags often contain plastic additives that hinder the  composting process and may not fully decompose outdoors. 

“Compostable” bags require specific conditions to break down effectively, such as adequate moisture,    oxygen, and heat . They will not generally break down in the natural environment.

 Dog waste  can also contain harmful bacteria and pathogens.

Dog Waste bins can be found in the following places in the village:

The Glebe by the telephone box

At both ends of the path from the Village Hall to The Old Dairy

In Great House Street at the junction of Willow Bank/Willow View

At the end of the path between Orchard Way and Great House Street.

Double bagged biodegradable dog waste bags can also be disposed of in normal waste bin , including your own black wheelie  bin.

Please act responsibly and clear up after your dogs.
