Frome's dog owners are invited to comment on provisional designs for canine play equipment and fencing at Frome's Old Showfield.

The scheme follows requests from locals for a safe area to train and socialise their dogs, especially puppies and dogs that need some recall practice.

There were also many requests to Frome Town Council for doggy exercise equipment to help keep dogs mentally stimulated and physically fit. 

Cllr Sara Butler-Bartholomew said: "The Old Showfield is already very popular with Frome's dog walkers and the response was really positive when we asked if people would like to see a dedicated dog area.

"What that means in practice is up for debate.

"The team have researched similar dog areas and taken advice, and we'd love to know what you think of the ideas so far. Come and view the drawings and ideas and tell us what you think would work best for you and your dog."

An information event was held over the weekend but locals can still look at the designs online and feed back to the council by Sunday 15 September.
