Wimbish: Authority for dogs to be allowed back onto Carver Barracks

The following additional points must be adhered to in order to continue to allow dogs to access the barracks:  All dogs must be registered with their sub unit SSM or Head of Department (HoD). Once registered, the dog owner will be issued a tag which must be placed on the collar of the dog, especially when accessing site. If you are stopped to ask about your dog and no dog tag is present then you will be asked to leave the barracks.  All registered dogs must have in date and valid pet insurance which is to be shown to the SSM/HoD when registering.

Dogs must be on a lead within barracks at all times.  Dog waste must be picked up and deposited in a dog waste bin or general waste bin either on site or at your home address. Do not use the recycling bins on site.  Dogs are allowed access to site either to go to an office with the dog owner (if authorised by SSM/HoD) or as a thoroughfare to the airfield. The camp is not to be used as a dog walking facility and access is only granted for movement to and from work or the airfield.  SLA dog owners are still encouraged to walk their dogs off site and not to use the camp as a dog walking facility where possible.  Any full dog waste bins on site or on the airfield can be reported to the Amey help desk as they are in contract for emptying. If full, report and also take your dog waste home until emptied.  Any breaches of the above could see a return to a ban of all dogs on site. If you witness other dog owners breaching any of the above then you must have the moral courage to challenge; the minority will always cause issues for the majority.

Uttlesford District Council supports a number of free health walks, taking place all over the district throughout the week.

Trained leaders will be there to lead you on interesting walks through the local countryside or past places of interest. We have wide range of regular healthy walks arranged for the coming months, so why not get out in the fresh air and join us. Families are welcome but not all walks are suitable for dogs.

All you need to do is turn up ten minutes before the start. You will be required to fill in an Outdoor Health Questionnaire to initially register and to provide insurance cover.

Some routes may be grassy, muddy, slippery and uneven so please have appropriate footwear and clothing for all weather conditions. All walks now include information on how long you are likely to be walking, for example 60 minutes, rather than a specific distance.
