FLOODING – Ewyas Harold Group Parish Council would like to express its thanks to the local fire brigade, Steve Bowen, Nick Eynon, Chris Hales and other helpers for their efforts in clearing up after the recent floods in the village.

DOG WARDEN – In future Ewyas Harold will be patrolled regularly by Herefordshire’s dog warden in order to overcome the problem of dog fouling in public places. These include the recreation ground where football matches have been delayed while the pitch was cleaned; the grass at the back of the Memorial Hall where pre-school children play; the grass banks near the primary school and the road and pavements in the village.

Guilty dog owners will be fined. PRIMARY SCHOOL – The walking bus continues on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, meeting at Ewyas Harold Memorial Hall at 8.30am.

Come and join us, it is a great way to start the day.

Please see Janet Mailes at the school office for more information. Please note reception children must be accompanied.
