Dog Code
Please follow these simple rules.
Fouling

Control & Respect

- Dogs are not permitted in the children’s play area
Courtesy

Other ways we can be responsible owners

- Report a found or a lost dog
- If you find a dog bin which has not been emptied then please note the number painted on it before contacting Mid Sussex District Council using the online report a missing dog bin form.
