Dog AdviceIf you can't keep your dog under control, keep it on a lead There had been a number of incidents reported to the Parish Council regarding dogs not being properly under control when walking in Foxfield Country Park. On a right of way your dog does not have to be on a lead but it does have to be 'under close control'. This phrase is not defined but pretty much means that if dog will not always come, straight away, when called even when he's chasing things, and then stay there, he could be at risk of being seen to worry people or animals. So if there is any chance he might go off then the lead is the best option. The Control of Dogs Order 1992 Dangerous Dog Act 1991 If your dog injures a person, it may be seized by the police and your penalty may include a prison sentence and/or a ban on keeping dogs. There is also an automatic presumption that your dog will be destroyed (unless you can persuade the court that it is not a danger to the public, in which case it may be subject to a control order). You may also have to pay a fine, compensation and costs. Finally, dog owners please be considerate when walking your dog, remember not everyone like dogs and the Country Park is for all to enjoy!
Is your Dog Legal ?
Under control of dogs order 1992, any dog in a public place must wear a collar with the name and address of the owner engraved or written on it, or engraved on a tag. You can be fined up to £5,000 if your dog does not wear the correct identification.

Playpark VandalismOver the weekend (9/10th October) a large amount of vandalism occurred in the playparks within Grange Park. Due to health and Safety reasons the Parish Council has made the decision to tape off those areas most affected with some red and white warning tape. This tape has already been replaced twice and we would appreciate it if the users of the equipment could be respectful and appreciate the reason why the tape has been installed. Grange Park Parish Council would also like to suggest to all residents that if anyone sees any acts of vandalism happening within the Parish then please phone the Police and report the incident which will obtain a police reference number. Thanking you for your co-operation Grange Park Parish Council
Foxfield Pavilion Premises LicenceWe are pleased to announce that Grange Park Parish Council has been granted a Premises Licence for the Pavilion which opens on the Country Park in October. The licence enables a number of licensable activities to take place on the premises including the playing of recorded music and the sale by retail of alcohol. The Parish Council is very mindful that the primary purpose of the Pavilion is for sporting activities and intends that any licensed activities that take place will be mainly by the Clubs and Associations that will be using the Pavilion and therefore the times licensable activities are able to be carried out are restrictive. Sale by retail of alcohol: Monday – Sunday 12.00 – 9.30pm Recorded Music: Monday – Saturday 9.00am – 9.45pm The Pavilion will also not be used any later than 10.00pm on any evening.
