Your Liberal Democrat councillors, Nicholas Coombes and David Martin, regularly talk to Bathwick residents on their doorsteps.

Recently Cllr Martin spoke with Darlington Place residents about their concerns with dog fouling on the pavement. The street is a popular walk for dog walkers heading to the National Trust fields.

He has since arranged for new signs to be attached to the lamp posts, warning of the £1,000 penalty possible for not cleaning up after a dog. However, it is to be hoped that responsible nature of dog owners will continue to clean up after their pets without such measures.
