Dogs
There have been several reports recently of dogs enjoying a little too much freedom around the village without their owners in sight.
Just a gentle reminder to all dog owners: while we all love a friendly face, not everyone is a fan of unexpected visitors wandering into their gardens. Some dogs aren’t always keen on making friends with others, and cars unfortunately don’t have the quickest reactions when a four-legged explorer appears out of nowhere .
Please help keep our dogs safe, happy, and a little less adventurous when it comes to solo village tours.
Proposed road closure : 8 – 17 April 2026

Incidents involving large goods vehicles
Villagers will be aware that large goods vehicles travel through the village on a daily basis, en route to and from the cheese factory at Ashley Chase. On occasion, vehicles meet head to head and find it difficult to manouvre out of the situation. If you witness such an impasse, the manager at the cheese factory has asked that it be reported to them at the time, so that they can take action to address the issue and seek to advise the drivers how to avoid it in the future.
