INCONSIDERATE dog owners caused a hitch for green fingered villagers who turned out to brighten the gateway to their neighbourhood.
Volunteers, including Brownies and Scouts, helping to make the Durham Road approach to Sedgefield village more attractive by planting bluebells hit a setback and spent most of their time clearing dog dirt in the woodland before 2,000 bluebells were planted in preparation for this year's "in Bloom" competition.
Residents joined gardeners from the town and borough councils on the first of several planting sessions organised by the Sedgefield In Bloom committee.
Sedgefield deputy mayor Maxine Robinson said: "Further planting throughout the woodland is hoped to take place in future years."
