A Big Thank you to Rose & Kevin McCabe, Perkins Country Store & Halls Estate Agents
We would like to acknowledge the generous support of members of the public, 3 of whom have given generous donations and also to local businesses, Rose and Kevin McCabe, Perkins Country Store and Halls Estate Agents.We have also received many other donations from numerous people in the community which have enabled us to provide this much needed resource. Any donation is equally important and without this support we would not have been able to provide 3 new dog waste bins in response to your feedback.
We have another dog bin! Maggie, Alan and Alice from Ottery Office and Computer, have provided a much needed bin which is sited next to the Brook Street Car Park, so anyone walking to and from the town can cut through and use this to bin their booty! We certainly put this bin to good use to deposit our collections from our 7th Poop Scoop!
