Stevenage DogWatch kicked off their Doggie Day in Town Centre Gardens with a children's agility course helped by Stephen McPartland, Member of Parliament for Stevenage, who was in charge of DogWatch mascot Lawful Larry. Coordinator Sarah Sheldrick then had Stephen, a DogWatch team member, a PCSO and a Police Officer try out the course, to the roar of the crowd watching.
Stephen said, "I had a great day with Stevenage DogWatch today, and it was good to see so many local people enjoying themselves. I would like to congratulate DogWatch for organising such a great community event and pay tribute to the amazing work of Sarah Sheldrick and the team."
Stevenage DogWatch was developed with Neighbourhood Watch and encourages dog walkers to keep their eyes and ears open and report suspicious incidents to the police. New members are joining all the time and if you would like to know more please contact Sarah Sheldrick on 07792 101893 or visit the website at http://www.stevenagedogwatch.org.
