North Edinburgh to tackle dog fouling in new initiative

Environmental Wardens Team Leader Mark Bannon on a forthcoming initiative:

NORTH  NEIGHBOURHOOD TEAM

Dog Fouling Exercise 8 April -12 May 

Introduction

This planning is well underway and involves SfC partners to address dog fouling issues. A partnership initiative approach will provide, education, multi-agency working and enforcement to target problems encountered in an effort to minimise this anti social behaviour.

Main Aim of this Initiative:-

To reduce dog fouling and enforce on those offending. Encouraging changes in public behaviour and attitudes is a complex and lengthy business. Who would have thought twenty years ago that most buildings and workplaces, both public and private, would now have implemented no smoking policies? This has been achieved largely via consensus between smokers and non-smokers. In order to succeed, anti dog-fouling policies must achieve that same level of agreement between dog owners and non-owners.

The North Neighbourhood Environmental Wardens, Community Safety Officers, Safer Neighbourhood Team and CCTV 

  • a high visibility and low visibility presence from  an enforcement role helping to create a clean environment for members of the public in our local community
  • patrol areas of local ‘Hot Spots’ known for dog fouling. Referrals will be made to the Task Force on a daily basis
  • take enforcement action against anyone found to be contravening the Dog Fouling (Scotland) Act 2003.
