New bins and signs have been placed around Hammerwich to encourage owners to clean up after their dogs.
They were funded by Hammerwich Parish Council and have been placed near footpaths and green spaces popular with people walking their pooches in the area.
A Hammerwich Parish Council spokesperson said:
“There have been incidents of pooper scooper bags being discarded in hedges, but since siting the new bins and signage they are very few and far between now.
“Our slogan, ‘please take your doggie doo home with you, or find a bin to put it in’, seems to be promoting the right attitude all round.”

Good luck – I hope you are successful, however there are several dog owners who may put it in the bag but are determined to hang the evidence in trees and hedges instead of deposing it responsibly. (are they responsible enough to own a dog?).
We asked the parish council 7 years ago for this. Why has it taken so long?
