One resident said, "There are people on Eachill Road who have had their dogs running wild up and down the street letting them foul on the grass in front of old folks' bit at the end. When you ask them to clear it up they just respond with abuse. Dogs are scaring the old ladies sat on the bench outside and it's not fair or safe for the elderly."
Cllr Ken Moss said, "We're getting different people sending pictures to us quite regularly now and it's reached the point where naming and shaming is probably the next stage in trying to stop it. I've also been abused by people in the street when I've challenged them to pick up after their dog. One man said it was the job of HBC to clear it up as that is what they pay their Council tax for!"
The photo above came in from Eachill Gardens and anyone with any idea who these people are is urged to come forward. The Councillors would like to speak to them regarding a dispute over the weekend.
A £50 reward scheme for information leading to prosecutions has been launched by the Council and anyone with information on people who allow their dogs to foul can call 01254 388111 to speak to the dog warden.
