Wroughton Wranglers Cricket Club backs Poo Free Parish campaign

Another sports club has signed up to the drive against dog mess in Wroughton. Swindon24 reported on Wednesday 28 October 2026 that Wroughton Wranglers Cricket Club had pledged support to the Poo Free Parish campaign.

What is Poo Free Parish?

Wroughton and Wichelstowe Parish Council launched the campaign earlier in 2026. It asks dog owners to clean up after their pets so that parks, footpaths and other green spaces in the parish stay usable for everyone.

The cricket club follows Wroughton and Wichelstowe Football Club and volunteers from Vision 4 Wroughton, who backed the campaign the month before. The parish council hopes that getting sports clubs, businesses and community groups involved will spread the message, and it is asking more of them to join.

What was said?

Martyn Gregory, a member of the Wranglers, said: "Picking up after your dog is such a simple thing, but it makes a huge difference to our community." He finished: "Let's bowl dog fouling out of the parish for good."

Councillor Mark Trigg, Vice Chair of the parish council's Open Spaces Committee, said: "It's fantastic to see another local sports club getting behind our Poo Free Parish campaign." He added: "We know that the vast majority of dog owners do the right thing and pick up after their pets."
