⚠️🐾 IMPORTANT NOTICE – HUB FIELD 🐾⚠️
We just want to clarify the position regarding use of the field at the Hub.
Although the land is owned by the Council, the Hub site is leased, maintained and managed by Shipston Enterprise. The field is not an open public recreation ground – use of the field is normally booked and agreed through us, as it is for organisations and groups who regularly use the site.
We have, however, previously tolerated people accessing the field informally to walk their dogs, as we don’t mind the local community enjoying the space when it is being respected.
Unfortunately, we’re now seeing an increasing amount of dog mess being left around the field, which simply isn’t acceptable.
There are also currently some very large cracks and areas of uneven ground across the field. Anyone choosing to access the field without a booking or permission does so at their own risk and should be aware that the field is not maintained as a public recreation area.
🐾 If you choose to walk your dog there, please pick up after it and take the waste away with you.
We really don’t want to stop people being able to walk their dogs on the field, but access cannot simply be assumed. If the dog fouling continues, we will have no option but to stop informal dog walking on the site altogether.
Please respect the field so that we can continue to be reasonable about its use.
Shipston Enterprise
