Dog Fouling should be reported to the District Council directly with details of the incident location(s), if any resident can provide information regarding the person allowing the fouling to happen this will help the Enforcement Officer to deal with the matter. 2 Would Westley Waterless like to attend This is not a matter that falls with the District Council’s powers or remit. Nevertheless, the Burrough Green Parish Council question was raised and the following responses provided to date (note a response was meetings? Can ECDC investigate? requested by 31.5.13): Westley Waterless Clerk 14.5.13 –“I am sure there if there were a requirement for us to attend or that we would like to attend then this would be given due consideration”; & Burrough Green Clerk – 14.5.13 “ I will ask the Councillors what they think and get back to you”. Note that there is no requirement to attend each other’s meetings. The Head of Legal & Democratic Services has also, however, asked whether Westley Waterless and Burrough Green would like to be joined as one Parish – as this could potentially be facilitated through a Community Governance review, if this was requested by the Parishes concerned and this change approved following a consultation, by the District Council.
