DOG FOULING:
Dog fouling regrettably is on the increase throughout our Parish and is totally anti social.
It can cause serious illness as well as being unpleasant.
The majority of dog owners clean up after their pets. Those irresponsible owners that don’t will face a fine.
£100 REWARD SCHEME (Borough Council)
Receive £100 if the information you provide leads to either a successful prosecution or the issuing of a £100 Fixed Penalty Notice.
Tell us in confidence if you know someone who is not cleaning up after their dog at dogs@staffordbc.gov.uk or on 01785 619000. Please give as much detail as possible such as name, location, time, dates.
Any person in charge of a dog who does not clean up the mess will get a £100 Fixed Penalty Fine or face prosecution with a maximum fine of £1000.
Being unaware that the dog has fouled, or not having anything to clean up the mess, is not an excuse.
LITTER PICKING:
To all the public spirited Wombles of Standon Parish a big THANK YOU from the Parish Council for the outstanding litter picking activities carried out over the last few days.
We are fortunate to live in a beautiful location but alas there are those people who pass through determined to despoil our environment. Shame on them.
again a big THANK YOU….
the Parish Council
