Metheringham Dog Warden Update Autumn 2011

Dog Warden Report

I would like to take this opportunity to thank residents of Metheringham who have consistently cleaned up after their dogs since I started as the Village Dog Warden. Unfortunately it is the minority who fail to clean up after their dogs which can give a bad name to all dog owners. As you may be aware, I randomly patrol the village over seven days a week at varying times throughout the day in an endeavour to identify those who allow their dogs to foul.

The Parish Council operates a 'zero tolerance' policy and fixed notices, to the value of £50.00, will be issued to anyone who does not clean up after their dog and place the bags in the main dog bins around the village, or take it home and place it in the black wheeled bin.

Everyone wants to live in a clean village, so if you see anyone allowing their dog to foul and not clean up, please call me, Michael the Dog Warden, on 07903898451, or North Kesteven District Council, tel no. 01529 414155.

The maximum penalty for not cleaning up after your dog is £1,000.00
