New regulations will clamp down on dog fouling in Halton
5:40pm Thursday 2nd September 2010
A CRACKDOWN on irresponsible dog owners comes into force next month.
New regulations means dogs will be banned from certain areas in Halton or required to be kept on a lead.
It follows more than 4,000 complaints to Halton Council last year about problems such as fouling and strays.
Clr Stef Nelson, board member for the environment, said: “Sadly, a small minority of people are putting the safety and health of Halton residents at risk and spoiling the environment for everyone else.
“We had to take action to ensure all our open spaces are a safe and clean environment.”
