CORONATION BENCH: Broadway Parish Council have now positioned a bench in honour of King Charles III's Coronation next to the late Queen Elizabeth II's Jubilee Tree in the High Street.
Dog Fouling - Broadway Parish Council continues to receive numerous complaints regarding dog fouling in the village. Most dog owners pick up after their dogs, it’s just the small minority that spoil it for the rest. The Parish Council offer free poo bags from the Parish office and there are now two trial poo bag dispensers in the village. Dog mess is the most unacceptable and offensive type of litter on our streets. Research tells us that dog fouling is the issue the public are very concerned about.
Dog fouling is not only deeply unpleasant, but also dangerous. Whilst rare, contact with dog excrement can cause toxocariasis – a nasty infection that can lead to dizziness, nausea, asthma and even blindness or seizures. It also contains nitrogen and phosphorus, which can fuel an explosion of algae when washed into nearby streams during storms. Pet waste doesn’t just decompose. It adds harmful bacteria and nutrients to local waters, when not disposed of properly. It can also threaten native wildlife, other dogs as well as humans.
It’s no wonder dog fouling is such a problem – there are estimated to be more than 8 million dogs producing more than 1,000 tonnes of mess every day in the UK alone. While most dog owners are caring, responsible individuals, there are still some people who do not clean up after their pets.
Anyone who fails to clear up after their dog can be issued with a Fixed Penalty Notice of up to £100. If the case goes to court this could cost the owner or person in charge of the animal up to £1,000. Dog fouling can be reported on the District Council website under ‘Report Doug Fouling’.
The law states that being unaware a dog has fouled or not having a suitable bag is not a reasonable excuse. PLEASE PICK IT UP!!!
Report It - 'Are you irritated by potholes, dog fouling, damage to drain covers, street lights, blocked gullies? There is a 'Report It' link that you can use to report it directly to Worcester County Council. The more people who report the issue, the more likely it is to be repaired.' www.wychavon.gov.uk/report-it
