IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR DOG WALKERS.

Leaving bags of dog poo discarded is absolutely disgusting‼️

If you want to bring your dog to enjoy the countryside - BAG IT & BIN IT 💩🐾

Respect the local area and be a responsible dog owner. Don't give a bad name to people who do pick up & dispose.

Leaving dog p**p everywhere and just chucking plastic bags of poo is UNACCEPTABLE❗️

Decision being made this week by BCP Council on the sale of Hicks Farm.

Whilst we support this (given the decline and disrepair that the council has allowed) - we must keep on top of any future proposals.

Any development MUST be totally in keeping with the Conservation Area & greenbelt - and suited to the local environment.

BCP Council will discuss selling most of Hicks Farm’s land and buildings to raise £1m, fund repairs and secure the historic Dorset site’s future following damage.

Public opinion on planning will become more difficult under new BCP Council planning rules.

Remember it was our ward Councillor Lisa Northover who 'called in' the ridiculous plans for Hicks Farm.

More assault on local democracy. Please support the Throop & Holdenhurst Village Council.

Public planning debates could fall by more than half under proposed changes
