A foul habit
Dog owners and walkers are being reminded by Ealing Council to clean up after their animals because a small number of irresponsible residents have been leaving the mess behind . It is illegal to not pick up dog poo from any public place or footpath that is left by your dog or a dog you are looking after . Failure to do so can result in a £ 150 on the spot fine and / or court action . Dog mess should be wrapped in a plastic bag and put into a litter bin or taken home for disposal with household rubbish . There are almost 1,000 public litter bins across the borough so there is no excuse not to dispose of the droppings . Read more at ealingnewsextra . co . uk / features / dog-mess
