NEW DOG BINS

Dog BinThe Parish Council has ordered two new dog bins for the village.  One has now been installed on Hillam Lane by the start of the walk across the fields to Gateforth Woods.

We have requested an update from Selby District council on the second bin as this is yet to be installed.  Once in situ, it will be found on Landing Road, at the point the road changes from tarmac to rough road.

You can report issues to Selby District Council
