Somerset nature reserve “badly affected” by dog poo

A nature reserve on the Mendip Hills is being “badly affected” by dog poo and anti-social behaviour.

Blackmoor Reserve near Charterhouse is one of the most sensitive sites in the area for wildlife and archaeology.

The AONB which manages it says dog poo and anti-social behaviour like off-road driving is harming biodiversity and damaging archaeological remains.

Vicki Clark has been speaking to Tim Haselden from Mendip Hills AONB about the problems.
