Yet again we are facing problems around town with people allowing their dogs to foul on the street and not clean up after them. This has been a problem for a long time and with thousands of poop a scoop bags been given out by the council and 100s of leaflets that i delivered last year highlighting the problem it still goes on. Sadly it is just a small number of people that do this yet it upsets a large number of you. At the beginning of last year i went to full council asking for them to extend the powers to other officers of the council and to name and shame the people that the council convicts but sadly to get a prosecution is difficult in the way the laws are written.
So is education the best way forward? This will take a long time to drive that message to residents and visitors that we want our streets clean.
If you want to make a change then please get the following information eg times of Day, street and description and please pass this information on to me (you can email me or reply below anomalously) and i can forward this to the Dog Warden.
People are creatures of habit so i hope we can get info to target the problem
