Dog Fouling… how to report this odious issue
Dog fouling is disgraceful and gives all dog owners a bad reputation, despite the majority of dog owners cleaning up after their dogs.
If you are concerned about the issue of dog fouling in your locality please report it to GBC via the following link: https://www.guildford.gov.uk/article/24848/Dog-fouling
Action can only be taken by the borough council when they are made aware of the specific locations being affected by this nuisance issue.
Fairlands Ave – Planters
On 17th August 2023 Worplesdon Parish Council tidied the planters in Fairlands Ave, which had become an eye-sore.
The Clerk and Finance Officer, assisted by Cllr Brigitte Ahier, weeded the planters, added compost, tree bark, and finally painted the railway sleepers with forest green wood preservative.
The total cost of the materials came to just over £100.
Moving forward, the Parish Council will maintain the planters, although the trees will remain the responsibility of Surrey Council Council.
Memorial Plaque – Cynthia Slaymaker
On 15 August 2023 a memorial plaque to Cynthia Slaymaker was unveiled by her nephew, Huw.
Cynthia had dedicated her life to helping others. Her positive attitude to life, even when she became unwell, was inspirational to all who knew her.
Happy to roll up her sleeves and help out wherever possible, Cynthia helped out at numerous events across the Parish when her husband, Derek, was a parish councillor.
Thoughtful and kind, Cynthia was always ready to bake for every occasion. Her zest for life, community spirit and generosity will be sadly missed.
Residents are welcome to sit and enjoy the Slaymaker’s memorial bench, which is located at the bottom of Harry’s Meadow. What3Word location ///planet.press.across

Competition – Potential play/fitness equipment for Wildfield Close
We’re ever so sorry that we had to cancel the community engagement event for Wood Street Village which was scheduled to take place last week.
We were really looking forward to hearing from the local children and teenagers as to the types of play and fitness equipment they’d like to see in the village.
Instead, we’ve decided to run a little competition so that any children who live in Wood Street Village can instead draw their ideas and get their parents/carers to post photos.
To enter, simply comment on our Facebook post, including a photo of your entry!
The winner will be chosen at 12 noon on Thursday 9th April to allow for the prize, of an Easter Egg Hunt, to be delivered before Easter Sunday. [The prize winner will have to live in Wood Street Village/Broad Street due to the current travel restrictions in place]
