Dear Residents,
There has been a lot of speculation online after 3 dogs became unwell and sadly 1 has passed away following a walk in the area. Understandably people are worried but it’s really important not to speculate and to establish the facts of the situation.
The location of the walk was not the ponds or water course so this is not connected to the previous incident involving that specific location.
Once the exact location is confirmed I will make people aware.
Following discussion with Persimmon they have taken the decision to close off the public open space and to re-test the area to give people confidence that the area is safe but this area was not believed to be the location of the incident.
I am in touch with the dog walker and family of the pet, this is a really upsetting incident and they would appreciate not having any further speculation or upsetting questions online during this difficult time for them personally.
Rather than creating lots of extra posts I will add to this post with updates as more information becomes available. Thank you
