Has anyone else noticed the amount of time and effort that is being spent on dogs? The council seems to be targeting dog owners I understand the dog poo problem but to ban dogs from parts of the town seems a bit extreme or is it a distraction from other business? I saw in the weekly news that some bloke suggested banning dogs in the town what about Cats, goats and sheep? Or even Pillocks that make daft comments?

[Nemesis]

Yes I agree, but being "a responsible dog owner" as it is called and always cleaning up after my own dog I can see the point. Some 'phantom ' dog owner visits our street on a regular basis and allows their dog to leave deposits in front of our gates and even on a neighbour's front steps. We get enough mess with the goats, but they aren't accompanied by a person.
Whoever you are--- shame on you.

[DaveR]

There's few things worse than dog mess somewhere like Mostyn Street where it gets spread around the pavement by hundreds of feet. Not nice at all and no need for it. Would dog owners really be that inconvenienced by not being able to walk their dog along Mostyn Street (for example)?

[Merddin Emrys]

perhaps the responsible dog owners should report the irresponsible dog owners, I hope to see dog wardens out enforcing the law and issuing large fines for not cleaning up. Time also to bring back the dog licence and a points system like a driving licence.  I love going for walks but usually it's spoilt by having to watch what you tread in 

[Ian48]

I don't think dog licences ever did much at all really. Nowadays in fact you see so many less strays around town than you used to years ago (circa 25 or more). Back then you used to see dogs roaming all over town alone. I agree enforcements should be severe. You choose to have a dog, you clean up after it!

[Nemesis]

Exactly

[Fester]

I've never been a dog lover, but I have met many recently (including Nemesis' dog.. ahhh), that I think are pretty cute.

But, nearly every day of the week I see piles of dog poo ... on THE PIER!   
This is due to the 'other crowd', what seems to be a growing minority of irresponsible dog owners.

It makes me really angry and nauseous, ... when the pier gets busy it becomes totally unavoidable for kids, adults, wheelchairs etc to avoid it and spread it everywhere.

I join Merddin in his assertion that VERY large fines are necessary for THOSE type of owners.

[Yorkie]

I think a lot of the dog s****e we see around is from the dogs brought here by holidaymakers who seem to take their dogs everwhere with them these days.

Local Hotels could, and probably should, hand out leaflets and information on our dog laws to everyone bringing a dog with them.

[Dave]

Personally I think it should be an offence to exercise a dog in a public place without the means to clean up after it, i.e. carrying a suitable bag.
Spot fines for those who can't demonstrate a means of clearing up after their pets.

I find it amazing how many irresponsible owners there are still about and they do a great injustice to those who clean up after their pets by bringing all dog owners in to disrepute.

I have often thought that local politics was a load of s&*t but, in this case, that would literally seem to be the case...

The Council will get to the "bottom" of it one day!
