Lib Dem councillors David Kendall (Brentwood South County Divison) and Karen Chilvers (Brentwood West ward) have acted on information and appeals from Brentwood residents to try to improve the dog waste issues in our country parks and in the town centre.
Principle issues raised were:
This anti-social habit is disappointing and gives good dog owners a bad name.
Within a matter of days, the councillors had secured:
County Cllr David Kendall
Cllr Karen Chilvers
Cllr David Kendall said: "This is good news and I am pleased the review will take place. It might not cure the problem entirely, but it will make people think twice before dropping their offensive litter for others to clear up".
Cllr Karen Chilvers added: "I do hope this helps matters. As a dog owner myself I honestly can't fathom why people don't take responsibility for what their hounds leave behind, especially those that go to the bother of picking it up and adorning trees with bags of it! Simply place it in the nearest bin/dog waste bin or take your litter home and dispose of it".
