dog fouling
A consultation has been launched on the potential for further “no go” areas for canines in a bid to combat dog fouling.
Gwynedd Council’s cabinet has unanimously backed the public exercise which will gauge local opinion, with options including the potential for further restrictions on dogs at certain beaches and other public places.
Addressing Tuesday’s cabinet meeting, the portfolio holder acknowledged the need for regulations that respected the varying opinions relating to the animals, but added that a “small minority” of their owners were not being responsible.
Cllr Catrin Wager, the cabinet member for Highways and Municipal matters, went on to say: “Having dog mess on our streets is not acceptable, we’ve run various campaigns to try and reduce incidents of fouling on our streets and have also been providing free dog waste bags.
