Agenda item

The Area Council Manager introduced this item and updated the North East Area Council with regard to a Responsible Dog Owner pilot project following  concerns raised about dog fouling in the area.  The project will involve officers from BMBC and partnership organisations distributing dog bags at events in the community to encourage people to pick up after their dogs.  If someone is seen picking up after their dogs in the communities their names will be entered into a quarterly draw and they will receive a small reward to thank them for helping to take care of their environment.  

RESOLVED that the project is taken forward and managed through the Biodiversity and Environment fund and overseen by the North East Area Council’s Environment Steering Group at a cost of £800.
