THE PARISH Council in Burbage is warning dog walkers that they will be fined after dog mess was found on a grave.

It says it was contacted by a distraught family who had been to visit a grave at Ramsbury churchyard, only to find it had been fouled.

"I am sure people will be shocked at this and find it unacceptable that anyone would knowingly allow their dog to do this," said council chairman, Sheila Glass.

She told the Whitton Ways church magazine: "We know most dog owners do pick up. Please help us stop those who don't"
