Dog Fouling
I have been asked by the Panel to draw residents’ attention to the dog fouling issue.
A resident in Harvey Road has made a complaint about persistent dog fouling outside his house. I am contacting our Neighbourhood Watch for two reasons.
1. To remind residents, quite apart from being very unpleasant for someone who steps in it, that it is illegal to allow your dog to foul any public walk or pleasure ground.

This can result in a £50 fixed penalty notice, or £1,000 in court.
2. Can I canvass opinion as to whether this is a problem elsewhere in Great Totham, and if it’s getting worse, and ask for suggestions as to how best to deal with it.
