There are number of abandoned bags of dog poo appearing in and around Garvald.
Please clean up after your dogs – ‘bag it AND bin it’. Thank you.
Under the Dog Fouling (Scotland) Act 2003, if you are in charge of a dog you must clear up after it – regardless of your age and whether or not you own the dog. You must pick up any fouling immediately and throw it away in a proper bin or take it home with you. Please note that picking up dog excrement in a bag and then leaving the bag lying around is still an offence.
The Act applies to failure to “pick up” in any “public open place” apart from designated agricultural land. A “public open place” includes:
Excuses such as not knowing your dog has fouled or not having a bag with you to pick it up won’t be accepted by our wardens, and you will still be fined.
