I agree with Stanford Junior School children's complaint about the state of the BHASVIC playing field (The Argus, July 14).

It is appalling some people allow their dogs to foul a playing field and then do not even clear up the mess.

The answer would be an old-fashioned school caretaker living on the premises or, failing that, educating thoughtless dog owners.

But are the children of Stanford Junior School aware of the plan to build two hard hockey pitches and a club house where they play?

It would appear they are in danger of losing much of this grassy field altogether.
