Local landowners have reminded all walkers and dog walkers to keep off private land.  There have been many recent incidents where crops have been severely damaged and game birds have been injured and killed by dogs. Even if dogs are on leads, their waste may damage hay and straw bales resulting in a drop in value for the farmers. Please check footpath and bridleway signs before walking on local land, in particular the Hill Farm fields (owned by the Davies family) and the farms owned by the Hicks and Nicholls families.
