DOG OWNERS ARE REMINDED TO 'SCOOP THE POOP'

5.5.03

Residents around Priory Gardens, N6 are hoping that they will not have to watch where they step after the Council finally erected dog fouling notices, a year after promising Lib Dem Cllr Lynne Featherstone that they would be installed.

The notices that were erected at 3pm last Tuesday (22nd April) following recent correspondence from Cllr Featherstone to the Council expressing her concern over the length of time it had taken for the Council to act on its promise.

It is hoped the signs will deter local dog owners from allowing their dogs to foul the streets by reminding them of the penalty they may incur if they do.

Cllr Featherstone comments:

"I am pleased that the Council finally put these signs up and I am hopeful that this will reduce the problem of dog fouling in the area. However, ultimately it is the responsibility of every dog owner to ensure that they scoop the poop."
