The Dunster Steep traffic monitor has temporarily moved to Minehead Traffic Monitor.
I would like say a public thank you to Lee Cobley for setting up this system.

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