ALLOTMENT holders in Chipping Norton have complained about dogs being allowed to run amok and foul their allotments.

Several allotment holders in Burford Road complained to the police about dog owners allowing their pets run free and foul the area.

Sgt Rosemary Dilsaver of Chipping Norton police said: "This is a disgusting habit and one which responsible dog owners abhor. Dogs are not allowed on the allotment site.

"Damage is also being caused on the allotments, quite often during the day time. Anyone who sees damage being committed is urged to contact the police on 0845 8 505 505.
