However the Community is thriving and doing well No money was available for distribution. (5) Dog Fouling (new proposals}:- The Clerk reported that the present law is not enforceable on land owned by the Village and therefore HDC is bringing out new regulations on 1st April and the Parish Council has registered land to he covered by these, namely greens in St. Peter's Road and Mill Hill Road, other greens will be registered after April 1st. There will be instant fines and the use of an enforcement Officer. Parishioners will be able to 'Name and Shame'. ( 6} Parking in the Village;- Because people including residents are parking in the streets and on pavements, particularly in St. Peter's Road, it was suggested that greens could be used to provide 'Lay Byes' for parking. D.C. Graham Hart hinted that these could be provided by using 'Grass Blocks' as in other villages, but we would have to wait a long time. The meeting rejected the suggestion and asked that a letter should be sent to all to publicise the problem. (7) Village Notice Boards:- The Clerk reported that these were cluttered and it was difficult to place all Parish Council Notices in a reasonable way. He asked the meeting to consider the purchase of a new 'lockable' Board.
