A number of people have complained to us about the removal of dog waste bins from Aykley Heads. I can confirm that these have now been reinstated and hopefully no more plastic bags will be left lying around the area.

The bins had been removed for health and safety reasons!!

Needless to say the health and safety implications of dog poo all over the place has now thankfully been seen as more of an issue and a number of bins have been reinstalled after I raised this with the head of service.

The Council is monitoring a number of areas to try and stop unthoughtful dog owners from leaving their pooch poo around our local paths.

(I would use stronger language than unthoughtful if I didn’t think it might cause offence)
