As I have been walking around our area knocking on doors and delivering leaflets during the council election campaign I have noticed bags of dog mess dropped on pavements and hung on hedges across our area. I have also been told by some people that dog walkers throw bagged dog mess into their gardens.

I have reported all the different sites a saw bagged dog mess lying on the pavement or hanging on hedges.

Whilst the vast majority of dog owners are responsible, a very small minority are not. Please take bagged dog mess home – or put it in a dog waste bin.
