Dog Fouling in Dunnington

The issue of dog fouling around Dunnington and the number of dog poo bags that are just left abandoned on the side of roads, paths, hung in hedges and up in trees is of increasing concern once again. There are dedicated dog poo bins in the village and unless the dog owner picks it up, who else will? Whilst we hope that all dog owners carry a supply of dog poo bags with them, residents may have noticed that there are dog poo bag dispensers around the village so that owners can help themselves to ONE bag at a time in an emergency. This initiative was first proposed a number of years ago by the In Bloom Team who work very hard to keep the village looking beautiful - and yet they are still finding abandoned dog poo bags, as are the volunteer team at Hassacarr.

These bags are bought by the Parish Council from the precept to help residents when you've forgotten to bring a bag. Sadly, we have received reports of individuals taking away handfuls of bags despite the notice on the dispenser requesting that only one is taken, so we will be monitoring the amount used this year.

Come on Dunnington - let's pick it up, use the dog poo bins and keep our village clean.
