'There are certain hotspots where dog fouling occurs in every area of the borough'
Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council’s environmental services committee heard certain parts of the borough are dog fouling “hotspots”.
Council’s head of environmental health, Gillian Topping, told the chamber Council has been given a range of new powers, some of which will have “severe implications” for Council’s resources and promised the chamber a report on the matter would be brought before the committee in March. “One of the things we will be considering are the fines and the potential for Council to increase limits up to £200 for litter and dog fouling.”
“I think it would be useful to have a wider discussion on this so I am happy to bring a report in March and also happy to take any other suggestions from members if you felt it might be something you wish to explore further.”
