  • Dog Poo

    There has been increased fouling of the paths around Swanton Abbott, particularly those leading to the School from the Footpath and also between the Village hall and the Village School.  Not only is contamination unpleasant, there is a serious health risk if dog faeces are ingested and it is children that are most at risk.  The Parish Council pay for three dog-poo bins to try to contain the risk and we would like to appeal to dog owners to ensure they use the bins, or take the faeces home for disposal; You can read more here https://www.keepbritaintidy.org/faqs/advice/dog-fouling-and-law

    Thank you for your co-operation!

     

  • Recycling

    Bottle Bank: While the local recycling may take glass bottles, don’t forget that every bottle put in the bank by the hall contributes to Macmillan Cancer Research. It is regularly emptied and does raise a good sum for this worthy cause!
