This notice is a call out to irresponsible dog owners.
Tonight at Friday football we were unfortunate to find that an irresponsible dog owner had allowed their dog to use the goal area as a toilet…
Dog fouling is not a criminal offence, but not picking up your dogs mess is!..
I have informed the Parish Council of this matter and know that we will have their support to eradicate this disgusting behaviour.
I am sure that most people know that handling dog faeces can cause irreversible blindness in young children, I therefore ask all dog owners who use Parsons Croft to exercise their dogs… please, please, please exercise them away from the football pitch and away from the pavilion…. and pick up!
Thank you for your support

So sad 😦 We always pick up our dogs’ mess and had been picking up other’s as we don’t want dog owners getting such a bad rep because of a few lazy, selfish people. But even I get fed up of the amount we find every day on our walks. I just don’t know what the solution is anymore.
There is really only one culprit here and I wish someone would do something about it !!! If you want to know who it is just be on the field between half six and seven. It really makes me mad 😡 I pick up my dogs poo all the time ! It’s gross but I do it !
Dog Fouling.
The following was posted on the Blog a couple of years ago and I believe the advice is still valid.
The Parish Council shares the concerns raised by a number of residents about dog fouling in the village. Bins (Derbyshire Dales) and signs (Parwich Parish Council) are provided to encourage owners to clear up after their dog.
You may also wonder what further measures can be taken when problems persist. The following advice originates from Helen Spencer, Parks and Street Scenes Assistant at Derbyshire Dales District Council.
“If a witness comes forward to report that they have seen a dog fouling and their owner failing to clean up then we can issue a fine on the basis that the witness is willing to stand up in court if it gets that far. Evidence such as photos, time, weather, location, description owner or the dog would also help.
We can arrange for an enforcement officer to visit the area but we would need rough estimate of times that the dog fouling occurs. There also may be a charge for the officers time.”
Please note that if you wish to come forward as a witness you will need to report this to Derbyshire Dales yourself as the Parish Council cannot do this on your behalf.
If you believe you have made regular enough observations to justify the cost of requesting an enforcement officer please email clerk@parwichparishcouncil.org.uk with details and it can be considered at the next available meeting.
Caroline G and Tanya P might be amused by what my elderly neighbour (now deceased) did some years ago. A woman stood and watched her dog foul on the pavement. It was on a lead and she made no attempt to either pull the dog to the road gutter or pick up the dog’s mess. My neighbour was annoyed, so he picked up the mess in a tissue, caught up with the dog owner and said, “Madame, I believe you have dropped something!” He then dropped the tissue full of mess into her shopping basket that was hooked over her arm and walked off. PRICELESS. LOL.
Oh that is fantastic!!!! I would love to be so brave and fearless!
It’s sad that there is still an issue with dog fouling in the village. In the past few years my neighbours and I had to deal with this issue twice with two different dog owners when we were left to clear their dog’s piles repeatedly over several weeks near our drive. I reluctantly put all the facts in writing and left the dog owners to consider the situation. I absolutely LOATHED having to do so, but the thought of having to continue picking up someone else’s dog piles was far worse. On both occasions the problem stopped from the day the issue was raised. If it is known who the ‘culprit’ is, then surely it is best for someone to raise the issue directly and informally with them, and mention the fact that the issue has also been raised on the Parwich blog, rather than going down the official route of involving an enforcement officer, a possible court case and a fine.
