I am very excited to be moving to the village next week. I am hoping someone might be able to help me. I have 2 mini Shetland ponies who may need a home; is there anyone who might be able to rent me a bit of land please or who might like them as companions?
A polite request to ask dog walkers to stop leaving their dog poo, bagged or otherwise, on Dodds Hill. There’s been a noticable increase over the last couple of weeks and this will continue to be monitored.
Dodds Hill isn’t just a footpath, it’s where the village children play – to them it’s an army base, a fairy castle, even a climbing frame – don’t be the person that ruins this!
2 of my chickens did not go to bed last night, one is light grey and one dark brown rusty colour. They aren’t there this morning either. They are 2 of our new ones so don’t usual go far. If anyone has seen them please let me know. 07950823369. Thanks Vicky T

Update: Thank you so much for posting about our lost cat. Miraculously she has returned today. She smells of hay so may have be shut in a barn but she looks fine and well. Thanks to everyone who looked out for her. We are very relieved. Kind regards Mike and Jane GP
Our lovely black and white cat Elsa has been missing for a few days. She usually has a collar on but this may have dropped off. She is microchipped and lives at Parwich Lees. Please check your sheds in case she has been locked in by accident. If you find her please wattsapp me on 07866431602. She is very precious to us. Thank you so much. Jane and Mike (G-P)
Milo, an elderly black male cocker spaniel, went missing from The Knockerdown, Carsington on Sunday 8th Oct and was tracked to Bradbourne. He may still be in the area.
Please keep an eye out and report any sightings as per the poster below.
Last summer one of my hens was killed by a local dog being walked by it’s owner. My hen was on the path which runs alongside my property and the hen should not have been out. It has just happened again, involving two other local people with dogs.
Occasionally my free range hens push their free ranging to the limit and may get over the wall onto the path. They shouldn’t be there but at the end of the day they don’t pose a danger to any passing dogs. You would hope that the dogs wouldn’t pose a danger to the hens but it seems that there is a growing lack of awareness of other animals and livestock and an inability to train dogs to simple commands such as “leave” or “lie down”. I freely admit that I know very little about training a dog but it strikes me that the huge increase in dog ownership has not moved hand in hand with an appreciation of the need to train and control the dogs. Whether in the village or in a field, if you can’t control your dog in the presence of other animals (hens, cats, lambs etc.), the dog should be on a lead.
Ben Chadfield’s dog (Ben Dog) has been missing since this morning from Ben’s premises on Alsop Road. Ben Dog is a black and white collie with brown eyes, he has a collar but no disc. He is an old dog now and going missing for this length of time is unusual. There is a worry that he is stuck somewhere.
If you think you’ve seen him today, please contact Sandra and Arnold on 390317 or 07890 181 685.
If you hear a dog barking unexpectedly whilst you are out in the village / surrounding areas please investigate.
Just came across two loose golden labradors on the road between the Ballidon turning and Parwich. No collars so no clue as to whom they belong. Felicity E
It’s coming up to 7pm and a lady from Smithy Close asked if my dogs are OK. (They are) She had seen two large dogs, possibly retrievers, running along Sycamore Cottages road out towards Nethergreen. I went out with treats and lead to see if I could find them but nothing.
Check your pooches are safe. It’s meant to be a horrible night.
UPDATE 14.10 the dog is still wandering around the village Fiona H
I’m in Pump Hill Gardens and there was a golden lab, no collar, and it’s just headed down the hill towards memorial hall. I didn’t get close enough to encourage it back. (Coming up to 1pm)
As a reminder, “part of The Control of Dogs Order 1992 specifically relates to the fact that, when in a public space, pet dogs must wear a collar with their owner’s information. These details can be inscribed on the collar itself, or written on a plate or badge attached to your dog’s collar.”
Of course there may be a collar and I didn’t notice it so my apologies in advance but hopefully the pooch and owner will be together again soon!
The dog which was wandering around the village a week or so ago has been seen on the loose again today. It narrowly missed a car. It has a green collar. Does anyone recognise it?
A black and white male terrier with no collar has been rampaging round the garden early this morning at Townhead and trying to get in through the catflap. Last seen at Fouffinside.
Hugo, a male Ragdoll cat, is missing from the Vicarage – he has not been seen since he went out at 9 pm last night. Please can you look out for him and check sheds / outbuildings?
If you have any news please contact Sue and Pete on 390037, or Sue on 07894 751 620.
This dog has been seen around Smithy Close for the last hour or more. Does anyone recognise it? It is wearing a green collar without an identification tag. Dana A

The Chief Veterinary Officers for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have agreed to bring in new housing measures to protect poultry and captive birds from avian influenza following a number of confirmed cases across Great Britain in recent weeks.
“Whether you keep just a few birds or thousands, from Monday 29 November onwards you will be legally required to keep your birds indoors, or take appropriate steps to keep them separate from wild birds. We have not taken this decision lightly, taking this action now is the best way to protect your birds from this highly infectious disease.”
A kind lady contacted me the other day about my missing cat Leo and unfortunately I’ve lost her number would she be able to re-contact me please or my sister on either number below. Emily B
Our cat Leo has gone wondering again and hasn’t been seen in a good 4 weeks possibly more. If people could look out for him, check sheds or know anything please don’t hesitate to call on 07494273071.
He’s a grey tabby with white feet. Hasn’t got a collar but is microchipped. Very friendly! Emily B
