The Green Dog Walkers scheme has signed up its 1000th member. The scheme, which is supported by Northumberland County Council, is a community-led programme encouraging responsible dog ownership across the county. Dog owners can join by signing the Green Dog Walkers pledge, and are then sent a green dog walkers armband to wear when walking their dog to draw attention to the scheme. If you would like to get involved, the council is holding an event at Newbiggin on Saturday 12thMay from 11am-3pm, with a dog walk at noon.
