DOG FOULING
The enforcement officer for the Vale of White Horse District Council has provided the following information:
Along Coxwell Road in Faringdon, as you walk towards town on the left hand side of the pavement where the vets is, there is a regular occurrence of dog fouling where someone is leaving large piles of dog mess on the road where the cars are parked. The dog mess appears to be from a large dog and is happening on a regular basis. It looks like the dog mess is being pushed into the road by the dog walker and cars parking along this side are having to drive through it. As a route for a school run, it also looks very unsightly and the residents & general public who pass this area are not too pleased as you can imagine.
Would you be able to circulate this around your network of contacts so that the more eyes we have looking out for this issue, the more chance we have of identifying the subject.

New VoWHDC toilets open in Southampton Street Car Park
Vale of White Horse District Council recently completed an £80,000 renovation of the public conveniences in Southampton Street, Faringdon. There are now two unisex cubicles which have been designed to be more robust and easier to keep clean, including one which is specially designed for use by people who are disabled.
Inside each cubicle a screen shows how much time you have left before the door unlocks automatically (this takes place after 15 minutes). The handle will override the door locking mechanism, so to get out you can simply turn the handle. The hand washers and toilet flushes are all sensor operated while both toilet pans are single molded designs which are easier to keep clean and reduces the likelihood of the facility being vandalised, as opposed to traditional ones with a movable seat and lid. To help keep the facility secure the doors are made from solid metal. Some may initially find them a bit heavy to open, however, the door closers have been put on the lightest setting so that the doors shut firmly and safely.
The installation work was carried out by Kier and Healthmatic and Healthmatic are responsible for the cleaning and maintenance – any issues should be reported to them on 01249 823141 via nina@healthmatic.com. The toilets are locked overnight between 6:30pm and 8am.
If you have any feedback about the new facility please call 01235 540443 or email facilities@southandvale.gov.uk
