🚌 Stagecoach Buses Update🚌

We were notified by parishioners about some issues with Stagecoach buses on Tuesday 🤔

Two of our councillors went and investigated the situation as we were unable to get in touch with Stagecoach 🕵️🕵️

A large tree has been felled at the top of Fir Tree Hill, however buses are still coming through because the workmen have been guiding the drivers through the gap 🙌🚌

Whilst our super sleuths were talking to the workmen 🧐 - KCC Highways arrived and confirmed that they did have to close Fir Tree Hill for a short while on Tuesday whilst the tree was felled for safety reasons.

Once the tree has been removed today they are going to grind down the stump and the roots in the path and re surface, it should be completed by next Tuesday.

Hope this helps villagers to understand what the issue is as buses are running out of sync with the timetable at the moment 🐢

Thanks to our detectives for getting to the root of the issue! 😉🫶

📣Continuing our campaign to keep Woodnesborough clean and pleasant🌳

🐾 DOG POO BAG LITTERING 🐾

Dog poo bags need to go in bins and not be hung on trees, hedges or left on the floor!

to clear up after your dog is an envirocrime and you can be issued with a fixed penalty crime fine - this includes dumping full dog poo bags!

There are dog waste bins in the village in The Street and outside The Village Hall or take the bag home and dispose of it in your black refuse bin.

We ask villagers to please report any dog fouling/dumped dog poo bags to Dover District Council via the below routes. 🦮🐕

Reports will trigger patrols to the village by the DDC dog warden - a lack of reports gives the impression that there is not a problem with dog fouling in Woodnesborough 🗣️

So please….report, report, report! 📣
