• Dog Walking in Claxton

    Although only a small area, we are lucky to have some lovely footpaths and rights of way through Claxton, including part of the Wherryman’s Way.  We are a dog loving village and, of course, the paths are enjoyed by both local and visiting dog walkers.

    Sadly, the unpleasant habit of dog fouling continues to be a problem, especially the inexplicable practice of leaving dog waste in plastic bags en route.

    Efforts are made by landowners and villagers to keep the paths accessible and litter free. Ideally, dog walkers should take the waste home but there is also the option of a designated bin, very centrally, at the front of the village hall car park. Emptying of this is paid for by the Parish Council.

    This is a plea to both visitors and residents alike, to help us keep our village a pleasant place to walk and enjoy, by clearing up after dogs and ensuring that the practice is followed by all.

    Many thanks for your cooperation
