Two Fined For Dog Fouling Offences

Another two people have been fined for dog fouling offences. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The first was to a woman in Golwg yr Amman Park in Glanamman who used a plastic scoop to pick up her dog’s mess, but then threw it into a hedge. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

She was issued with a fixed penalty notice for £75 by council environmental enforcement officers who were on patrol in the area at the time. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

The second fine was issued to the owner of a dog in Llandovery. The dog fouled on the footpath which runs along the river by Swan Bridge. The dog was allowed to freely enter and exit a property on the estate. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

Executive Board Member for Environmental and Public Protection Cllr Jim Jones said: “It is unacceptable to throw dog mess into the hedge; council operatives use strimmers and other equipment. Please use a public litter bin or take it home to dispose of if there are no bins nearby. ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​

“In the second incident, the dog was allowed to roam freely and the owner had no intention of cleaning up after it. If residents know of similar incidents taking place in the county, I would urge them to report it, providing as much information as possible so that those responsible can be fined.” ‌​‌​‌​​​‍‌​‌​​‌‌‌‍‌​‌‌​​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌‌​​
