Please Help Us Keep Runwell Park Clean

We have recently noticed an increase in dog poo bags being left on the ground around the park or being placed in the general waste bins.

We kindly ask all dog walkers to please use the designated dog waste bins provided around the park and not leave bags on the ground or place them in general waste bins.

There are three dog waste bins located at:

1. The entrance gate
2. The entrance to the park
3. The other side of the park

Please note that the dog waste bins are responsibility of Chelmsford City Council, and not Runwell Parish Council.

Our Parish Council members and staff should not have to take on the additional tasks of collecting and disposing of dog waste bags that have been left around the park or placed in the general bins.

We therefore ask all dog walkers to be mindful and respectful of our staff and volunteers and to dispose of dog waste responsibly using the designated bins provided.

If you pick it up please make sure it goes into a dog waste bin.

Thank you for your co-operation!

Burst water mains in Church End Lane.
After speaking to on site workers today, 🤞 the leak at the top of CEL (Brock Hill end) is to be
re tarmacked Thursday, so the road hopefully will be opened Friday.

The leak further along CEL is finally being attended to after 11 days of leaking. Traffic lights have been installed at this point.

Following the Environment Agency’s announcement of drought across the East Anglian area, Essex & Suffolk Water is introducing a Temporary Use Ban, also known as a hosepipe ban, for customers across the entire supply area.

The temporary restrictions will come into force from 00:01 on Monday 3 August, but we're asking everyone to start making these changes today.

After months of prolonged dry weather, warm temperatures and three successive heatwaves, the Environment Agency has declared East Anglia to be in drought. Low river flows and dry conditions are putting increasing pressure on the environment, and now is the right time for us all to play our part.

We know many customers have already voluntarily put their hosepipes away – thank you. If you haven't yet, we're now asking you to join them.

From Monday, you must not use a hosepipe to:
💧 Water gardens and plants
💧 Wash cars, patios or boats
💧 Fill swimming or paddling pools
💧 Use sprinklers or pressure washers

This isn't a decision we've taken lightly, but by reducing non-essential water use, together we can help protect our rivers and wildlife while safeguarding water supplies through the hot, dry weeks ahead.

Thank you for doing your bit. Every drop really does matter.
