Dog fouling in public places isn’t just unpleasant, it’s a health risk. Left behind, it can spread harmful bacteria and parasites, particularly dangerous to children and those using wheelchairs or prams. It also spoils the appearance of our streets, parks, and paths for everyone.
As a community, we all share the responsibility to look after our town. If you’re walking your dog, please carry bags and use the dog waste bins provided. It only takes a moment and makes a big difference.
As a reminder, failure to pick up after your dog could result in a fixed penalty notice under local council regulations.
Let’s work together to keep our public spaces safe, clean, and welcoming for all.
