Brightling Parish Councillors resolved to install a new dog waste bin at Darwell Wood with the aim of keeping the paths clear and the hedges free of hanging used poo bags. Following the receipt of permission from Forestry England, the bin has been installed today.

The bin will be emptied on a weekly basis by Rother District Council contract services, funded from Brightling Parish Council’s budget.

Users of Darwell Wood are encouraged to report any missed collections or any issues with the bin (over flowing, damaged etc.) by emailing the Parish Clerk.
