🚨 Attention Dog Owners! 🚨
Get ready to grab those poo bags before you head out with your furry friend! Dog owners across the UK could face a £100 fine if they can’t show they’re prepared to clean up after their pets. 🐶💩
Councils are rolling out strict Public Space Protection Orders (PSPOs) to tackle the ongoing issue of dog fouling. These regulations require you to carry a sufficient number of waste bags whenever you’re with your pooch in public spaces. So, whether you’re in a bustling city park or a tranquil nature reserve, make sure you’re armed with at least two poo bags!
Places like East Lindsey, Canterbury, and certain London boroughs are already seeing these rules in full swing. If you’re caught without the poo bags, a fixed penalty notice of £100 might just land in your hands. And if things escalate to court? That could jump to a whopping £1,000!
It’s not just about avoiding fines! Being a responsible dog owner means keeping our parks and streets clean for everyone to enjoy. 🌳
Remember, PSPOs vary from place to place, so check your local regulations. Some councils even offer guidance online, emphasising that these measures aren’t about catching out the responsible owners but about ensuring our public areas are safe and pleasant.
So next time you leash up, double-check for those bags and avoid getting caught out – it’s always better to be safe than sorry! 🐾
