Defibrillators

We now have two defibrillators in situ in Kingsley village. One outside the Pharmacy in Hollow Lane and one outside Kingsley & Newton Village Institute on Top Road. Free training for anyone interested will soon be provided in the use of the defibs and the date will be advertised throughout the village.

The Council has received a number of complaints over the last few months regarding dogs approaching children on the playing field and this has prompted us to investigate a number of potential solutions. During our research, it has come to our attention that a number of byelaws are already in place on the playing field in relation to dog control. Dogs are banned from the enclosed children's play area and we will shortly be erecting signs in this respect.

We have also learnt that Vale Royal Borough Council created a byelaw in relation to dogs being kept on leads on the rest of the field. Cheshire West and Chester Borough Council took on these orders from the old Vale Royal Borough Council and in the next 12 months, they may decide to introduce Public Space Protection Orders (PSPO's) on the field which would enable them to legally enforce these byelaws.

Before this takes place, the Parish Council intends to carry out a consultation in relation to dog control on the playing field so we can fully represent the views of the community in any PSPO consultation carried out by CW&C.

In the meantime, we would politely ask all dog owners to please make sure their dogs are under control and not liable to run up to other members of the public, which can be scary, especially for children.

There have been several complaints recently with regard to dogs running loose within the Kingsley Playing Field and upsetting other users of the park. The Parish Council have recently invested time and money within the playing field for the benefit of everyone in the village. Whether your dog is friendly or not, please make sure they are under control and not liable to run up to other members of the public, which can be scary, especially for children.

Please also ensure dogs are kept off the play area (identified by the coloured surface) at all times.

The Parish Council are considering options to address this problem so that the playing field is a welcome and enjoyable environment for everyone.

The police will be making patrols around the playing field and have said that anyone with any concerns can ring them on 101.

The Parish Council values the work of all those who make such a positive contribution towards village life, which is why we are especially pleased to be able to provide some much needed funding to these four groups via our first ever Community Fund. We look forward to working with and supporting the work of other local groups in future years."
