Dog Fouling - a Growing Problem
03 April 2009
|
Investigations by the Lib Dems on Reading Borough Council have revealed only one fixed penalty notices been issued by the Council in relation to illegal dog-fouling in recent times.
This is despite the fact that dog fouling is a regular complaint of local residents.
Cllr Kirsten Bayes, Redlands ward councillor who tabled the question commented:
"Recently we have received a number of complaints across the area from local residents fed up with the amount of dog mess on footpaths and public areas - particularly in South Reading including Cintra Park and Bede Walk.
"This problem is the result of a handful of dog owners regularly failing to act responsibly.
"Reading Borough Council must take tougher and more concerted action to prosecute dog owners who allow their dogs to mess in public places."
Cllr Glenn Goodall, Environment spokesperson for the Lib Dems added:
"One Fixed penalty notice has been issued in recent times - this clearly does not reflect the scale of the problem across the Borough.
"If this public nuisance continues it will be necessary for Labour-run Reading Borough Council to review the amount of resources focussed on this area to see if it's doing the job."
