Poos
I've been contacted by a coach from a children's rugby team who regularly plays at Te Kowhai Village Green (the park opposite the dairy).
They've asked that I send a note out to all community members who take their dogs to the park and ask for you to PLEASE pick up your dog mess.
It is becoming a real problem apparently. Children are ending up getting muckier than they planned when playing sports.
Please be a tidy community member and clean up your dog poo.
