Marlow Mayor, Cllr Richard Scott has asked residents to clean up after themselves to look after the wildlife and environment
He said: “We’ve received a number of calls and emails regarding dog waste, litter -especially takeaway cups, dogs being out of control, and walkers not sticking to marked footpaths.
“It’s more important than ever that we look after our common spaces and protect wildlife and the environment, so we’re calling on everyone to abide by the Countryside Code.
“That means being considerate to others, taking away your litter, and cleaning up after your dog.”

The country code reads:
Respect other people
• Consider the local community and other people enjoying the outdoors
• Park carefully so access to gateways and driveways is clear
• Leave gates and property as you find them
• Follow paths but give way to others where it’s narrow
Protect the natural environment
• Leave no trace of your visit, take all your litter home
• Don’t have BBQs or fires
• Keep dogs under effective control
• Dog poo - bag it and bin it
Enjoy the outdoors
• Plan ahead, check what facilities are open, be prepared
• Follow advice and local signs and obey social distancing measures
