Out of Control Dog

Residents of the village witnessed a horrific attack on a deer, yesterday (Tuesday 31st October), by a large, off-lead (possibly brown/grey coloured) dog. In addition to the attack, during which the deer was killed, the dog was loose in a field where there are sheep and it had been seen chasing the sheep, earlier.

As far as they are aware, the dog is still loose and the owner has not been found. Is/Was your dog missing and possibly in the vicinity of Nunraw Barns yesterday (Tuesday) at around 3.50pm?

Please ensure all dogs are kept on a lead around livestock and wildlife.

      Hallowe’en 2023!

      Villagers, if you would like to be bombarded with adorable misfits in guises shouting at you for sweets, around 5:30-6:15pm on Tuesday 31st October, kindly leave an outside light on and/or some sort of seasonal decoration to alert us to your willingness.
      Garvald & Morham Children’s Hallowe’en Party
      Meet at the Garvald Village Hall orchard at 5:30pm on Hallowe’en for guising! We’ll split into two groups, do our loops, then return to the Village Hall for candy sorting, apple dooking, dancing, doughnuts-on-strings, and some light crafting. The party will finish up at the sensible hour of 7pm to get our over-sugared children to their beds!

      Pick Up and Bin It!

      Residents of Garvald have expressed concern about dog poo being left on the pavements, paths and parks within Garvald. As a dog owner it is your responsibility to pick it up.We have a number of dogs in the village and most owners do take responsibility for clearing up after their dogs. However, given the reported incidents, owners should remain attentive when out with their dogs, please. One particular incident involved poo being left on the pavement outside a house going towards the Church – and not for the first time.

      If you need to report it, follow the link below:
