A NEW campaign has been launched to tackle dog fouling and irresponsible dog ownership.
North East Lincolnshire Council officers are putting up signs in parks and other places to remind dog owners to pick up after their pets.
People are also being encouraged to submit reports about dog fouling problem areas so enforcement officers can target their patrols more effectively.
Locations especially likely to be targeted include:
- Sea Wall between North Promenade and Fuller Street
- Cleethorpes Country Park
- Grimsby Cemetery
- Cleethorpes Cemetery
- Second Avenue, Grimsby
- Sutcliffe Avenue, Grimsby
- Wybers Wood Estate
- Weelsby Woods and other parks.
Officers will be making spot checks to make sure dog-owners have the means to clear up. They can issue a ticket if dog walkers are not prepared.
All officers wear uniform and carry an identification card.
NELC is also reminding dog walkers to keep their pets off the central beach between Cleethorpes Leisure Centre and Wonderland from Good Friday to 30 September.
Dog mess problems can be reported to the council using an online form: www.nelincs.gov.uk/dog-mess.
