NUISANCE FROM DOGS
During the year the Council decided that notices
drawing attention to the By-Law dealing with the fouling
of pavements by dogs be fixed to lamp posts in selected
roads in the Borough. The notices, which are substantially
constructed and fitted with aluminium sheet backing with
universal clips, are moved frequently from road to road.
Several requests have been received for the display of such
notices, and it has already been found that these notices
serve a useful purpose. Complainants are asked to
co-operate with the Council in coming forward with evidence
of any contraventions of the Council's By-Laws relating to
dog nuisance.
