I VISITED The Flashings for the first time last Sunday with my granddaughters aged two and five.

Your local council has provided a wonderful amenity for the town.

What a pity that it is not appreciated by a substantial number of dog owners.

Dog dirt is not only unsightly and smelly but can be quite dangerous, especially for children.

Your council need to either ban dogs from the area or fine those dog owners who allow their dogs to foul this very attractive area.
