May I suggest to start with dogs and their poo!

Too often we have to navigate around dogs and their owners because the markets now have become a meeting place for pooches big and small. 

Too often we find dog poo on the ground because the mantra ‘pick up after your dogs’ does not apply to certain dog owners.

Dog poo is not bio-degradable, attracts flies which in turn sit on our food we consume, and are a harm to the environment, not least small children.

Give the markets back to the people!

We just want to enjoy the atmosphere – look at Bellingen Markets – support the traders who for very little financial reward give their time and effort to be there for us.
