Action on dog fouling

Lib Dem Councillor, Francesca Montemaggi, has raised the issue of dog fouling in parks in Grangetown.

Councillor Montemaggi said: "Local residents have contacted me and raised the issue of dog fouling, which is particularly bad in parks. I contacted the Council asking for litter bins with bags for parks such as Courtmead Gardens, Pentre Gardens, and Grange Gardens. I also believe that bins with bags will also benefit areas frequented by dog walkers, such as Taff Embankment.

"It is important, however, that dog owners take responsibility and pick up any dog waste. At present, dog fouling bags are available free at all leisure centres and libraries, such as Grangetown Library and Channel View Leisure Centre.

"The bags can be used to clear up dog mess and placed in any available litter bin. Waste Management is working with Parks Services to develop and install signage
