Please keep to the footpath

Just wondered if a message could be placed on AudlemOnline to ask people to stick to the footpath. We are finding increasing numbers of people walking in fields which aren't designated footpaths and also not picking up after their dogs.

In addition we have had a number of incidents over the last few weeks of people leaving gates open with cattle in (which has lead to them getting out) and allowing dogs to run loose amongst cattle. It is absolutely imperative that dogs are kept on leads amongst livestock, it is not unheard of for cattle to be spooked and subsequently stampede. This request is not just for the safety of the cattle but the dog walkers and their dogs too!
