The publicity shoot for the new signage which is placed at each point of entry/exit at Wellington Playing Field in respect of the by-law prohibiting dogs entering the estate has been made and circulated to the local press.

Those present were Cllr Catherine Herbert who is Taunton Deane Borough Council’s Executive Councillor for Sports, Parks and Leisure, David Derrick who is the Secretary of WDSF and Lyn Partridge-Webber who is the Chair of WAG, together with Addy Bloodworth who is the Treasurer of WAG and her son Alfie who is a member of WAG.
