Sheep have been grazing in various fields around Stratford sub Castle for a few weeks and are currently in the Parsonage Farm fields.
A public footpath (SALS6) runs through the fields and a resident has today observed that "People still let their dogs scare the sheep".
Last year a couple of local incidents involving dogs worrying sheep were reported on this website - see links at the bottom of this webpage.
If you see a dog worrying or attacking livestock please call 999 or report online at
https://www.wiltshire.police.uk/ro/report/rwc/rural/report-rural-crime/ or call 101 after an occurrence.
A leaflet endorsed by Avon & Somerset Constabulary, Farm Watch and Horse Watch gives guidance to dog owners and can be downloaded here:
