COUNCIL litter wardens are to launch patrols on the Grand Canal Greenway in Tullamore on Saturdays in a bid to stamp out the growing problem of dog fouling.
Senior Engineer with Offaly County Council, Mary Hussey has revealed that focussed patrolling is being introduced in areas around the town which are badly affected by the problem.
She was speaking at this month s meeting of Tullamore Municipal District after the issue had been again highlighted by councillors.
Ms Hussey said dog fouling had become an issue during the lockdown with people confined to a five kilometre radius of their homes.
