To ask the chief executive to consider installation of dog waste litter bins. Its been acknowledged many times that our litter bins take all rubbish including dog litter. The policy in our council is NOT introduce dog litter bins. A lot of the discussions around provision of bins/dog litter bins is based on those that DONT make the effort to dispose of their litter in a civic minded manner and not enough emphasis on introducing dog litter bins to make it easier for the REST of the members of the public, this is unfortunate as those that act within the byelaws, go beyond their responsibilities at times. should be main focus on debates around our continuous requests to bring in dog litter bins. its been said by so many people in particular via social media forums that they go outside their county only to see dog litter bins in place everywhere. Therefore is it unreasonable to ask that the Chief Executive gives serious consideration to bringing in these dog litter bins which would be welcomed by those that would gladly use them.
