NEWS FROM WARTON VILLAGE

Friends of The Roods will be having a planting and fundraising morning on Saturday 2nd December 10-12. We will be planting some saplings to form a boundary hedge to help make the park safe and increase the biodiversity. There will be refreshments and a sweet and bottle tombola. We will also be making decorations for a tree at St Oswald's church tree festival. This will be an event for all the family so come on down. 

Emma Taylor would like to  introduce a new village project:
 
We are the Friends of The Roods and our aim is to improve the playing field on The Roods and make it a space which the whole community can enjoy. 
 
We will be holding a number of volunteer work days throughout the coming months and some fundraisers. If you would like to be involved or would like to donate then please contact This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

The Village website has received a number of complaints regarding issues with speeding traffic through the village as well as comments regarding the proposed double yellow lines that are planned for along most of Main Street. Although the website has no influence regarding these matters the Administrator is happy to coordinate any comments which relate to proposed traffic calming measures within the Village and provide a general consolidated consensus of opinion with the relevant authority. Please email your concerns regarding the proposed traffic calming measures to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

There have been numerous reports of dog fouling on the village streets as well as some public footpaths, in particular, the footpath leading to Senset Well where it has become apparent that the owner of a large dog has repeatedly failed to clean up.  Although most dog owners do pick up their pets poop there remain a few who choose not too. Lancaster City Council would remind irresponsible dog owners that under the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act, it is an offence not to clean up after a dog has defecated on public land. Public land includes all public footpaths. A person may be issued with an £80 fixed penalty fine, if they do not clean up, or alternatively may be prosecuted through the magistrates court, where the maximum fine is £1000.
