Spotted on the canal, two new arrivals – early – but bringing a hint of spring just when you needed it.
Two Early Arrivals
Where’s a Dog Poo Fairy When You Need It
Perhaps the Dog Poo Fairy is in lockdown? Who Knows? Or maybe their isn’t such a thing as a Dog Poo Fairy!
Truth is dog poo is reappearing on the pavements and pathways in Adderley, particularly along Green Bank although the canal tow path is getting its fair share. There are dog poo bins! There’s one at the end of Green Bank and there’s one on Hawks Moor near the bridge and there’s another one on the bridge at the other end of the tow path walk.
We can’t very well blame the users of the canal, because they’re not there so we have to look to ourselves. Is it fair that the vast majority of responsible dog owners clear up their mess and yet the odd one or two feel that it’s okay to leave the mess, on the path for somebody else to step in. Besides, it isn’t nice to look at, is it?
So can we ask that if it’s you could you please take a little bag with you, pick up the dog poo and put it in the bin provided. Thank you.

Village Meeting Cancelled
Another event which has fallen victim to the Corona Virus is the Village Meeting. Originally scheduled for the 31st March at 8:00 in the Village Hall it had been intended to share news on the developments on the A529 and the Neighbourhood Plan.
This meeting will take place at a future date but in the meantime please use the village website and Facebook page for information
Helping Friends and Neighbours
Katie Foster (nee Gadd) has posted an appeal on Facebook and circulated leaflets round the village. She’s looking for help to support people affected by COVID19 by setting up an information exchange on WatsApp. Please read Katie’s message and help if you can.
“Hi all, I am starting up a WhatsApp group for supporters so if any requests for support come in, I can put it on there and people who are able to help can let us know.
I’ve had some lovely emails offering support and some people have been in touch to say they may need support in the future and I think this would be a good way to coordinate things.
If you would like to be added to the Supporters group for WhatsApp please could you text me with your name and I will add you on there.
My number is 07828047120. Thanks all 😀”
