Litter and fly tipping is a common problem and 81% of people feel that it should be stopped. The local authority is obliged by law to remove fly tipped rubbish. The public should notify Wiltshire Council or a member of the Parish Council.

A request has been made for more dog fouling bins to be placed in the parish particularly around the sports ground. It is important to note that litterbins can now be used for disposal, which should alleviate the problem. Dog fouling is also a problem in Slaughterford. Poaching is of concern in Slaughterford as well as along the length of the By Brook River. fields Biddestone & Slaughterford Parish Plan Create new ponds Look after rivers and streams don't know not necessary worth doing very important 26
