COMPLAINTS over dog
fouling in Inishowen resulted in a Council blitz at
Moville Shore Green this morning.
With the National Spring Clean campaign kicking off
in many towns and villages over the next few weeks,
Donegal County Council is calling on dog owners to
play their part by urging them to leave only their
dogs' paw prints behind after their walks.
“Complaints have been received on a regular basis
relating to dog fouling at the local park and we are
eager to work with local people to tackle the
problem,” says litter warden Pearse McCrory. |
