Dogs and Gates
We are fortunate we are able to take our daily exercise in lovely countryside but please be mindful of the comments made by a local resident.
GATES
Remember these are hard surfaces on which the vile-virus can sit and wait for you…. and the last person to open the latch may be the one who inadvertently gives you the virus…
It’s suggested to wear or use something disposable to open any gate latch… a small stick then discard it as far from reach as possible, so no-one else then re-uses it, but do try to protect hands from gate latches and bars, as you will then inevitably touch your face almost immediately afterwards, and we know what that can mean…. and do wash your hands well once you get home regardless!
DOGS
As of today it’s now being recommended in some (mainly City) Boroughs that dogs be kept on a lead at all times. Luckily that’s not yet the case here in Rushcliffe other than in their Park areas However please make sure that your hounds are under control at all times, especially as we have lots of folk out walking / riding & also heavily pregnant sheep adjacent in adjacent fields.
But above all a heartfelt plea from the Faeces Fairies
Please tidy up after your hound, it’s not a bad dog it’s a bad owner who leaves poo where others may (fear to) tread and please don’t then just hang your poo-bag on a tree, gate or stile, or worse throw it into the canal, put it where it belongs, in your own bin or dog bin “Good Samaritans” are already flat out so please don’t add to their work – thinking the Faeces Fairies will tidy up after you.
Stay safe, enjoy the lovely countryside and please help keep it equally enjoyable for others.

All Rushcliffe Borough Council managed car parks are free to use with time limits lifted until further notice in light of COVID-19.
The authority is not enforcing parking restrictions but asks all motorists to observe disabled bay rules.
They include the sites at:
The authority will review this decision monthly, with signs now in place highlighting the arrangements for car park users and advice on observing social distancing in line with government guidelines.
This includes keeping a distance of two metres between others, one exercise session per day and leaving the house to buy essential goods only before returning home.
Visit www.rushcliffe.gov.uk for the latest updates on the Council’s services and the support available to Rushcliffe communities.
A Rushcliffe Borough Council spokesperson said: “We are aware some individuals still require the use of public car parks when purchasing essential groceries or attending medical appointments or healthcare professionals providing support at local facilities.
“Therefore we have outlined the facilities can be used in line with social distancing guidelines from central government, outlined at each location, whilst saving a small cost to motorists on each essential visit.”
