The
tractors came
out to play! |
 On Tuesday 27 July Mr Steve Green from the Parks Department kindly let his tractors out to play for an hour on the field near the cricket pitch. They were covered with young children who had a fantastic time pretending to drive them and sounding their horns. Now it is back to work for the tractors and mowing machines as they keep our commons in good order for us to enjoy them. Many thanks to Mr Green - we hope he is brave enough to hold another similar event next summer! |

Dog
News

The
new dog byelaws came into operation on 1st April this year. You are now
expected to clear up after your dog everywhere in the borough. New dog bins
have recently appeared around the athletics track and on the main common.
We are still waiting for them in Bedford and Streatham woods.
As well as this, dogs now have to be on leads around the café and all other "outdoor eating areas" and also on the common's car parks and in fact, on all pavements in general. You may also be requested to put them on a lead around the lake during bird nesting season. The byelaws have gradually been rolled out across the borough, starting at Battersea. Notices are going up on the lampposts around the common and should soon be appearing at the café. Dog Control officers and Parks Police will be enforcing them in Tooting very shortly. |
