Hurst Green Village Voice

Anyone is welcome to attend and it is at these meetings when news of local events can be obtained.

They are very informative and comments may be made from non- councillors at the discretion of the chairman at the appropriate time.

- It was a pleasure to note a public spirited dog loving resident, fully equipped with clean-up bag, cleaning -up after the pet had done his duty in the road.

No one was about at the time so she thought, but still the mess was cleaned and taken away in a bag provided for that purpose.

At times one sees other dog walkers not being so decent, however, on the whole the problem is less than it once was.

Although the doggie parade can be seen at certain times of the day in great numbers, the consideration of dog lovers in this regard is appreciated by all.

- On March 2 there will be a special concert at The Meet of The Tongue given by national performer singer song writer Saffron Sumerfield.
