This is littering!

The Parish Council is appalled and disgusted by the actions of some dog owners who fail to clean up after their pets. Bags of dog waste left around full bins is littering. Dog waste has been left discarded by the children’s play area bin which is irresponsible behaviour. Even more disappointing is the action of some owners in breaking open one of the dog bins in an attempt to force more waste in.

Dog owners are legally required to clean up after their pets in public areas.

If a dog waste bin is full, use a litter bin or take the waste home with you and put it in your black bin. Do NOT leave it around an already full bin.

The contractors that empty the bins do not operate over public holidays, so hence the delay in them being emptied.
