Incidents of dog dirt being left behind have been reported in almost every part of the village recently, including the Haswell to Hart walkway, the playing fields at Hillcrest Place and the open grassed area between Church Street, Eden Cottages and East Terrace.
We have asked the council to have the environmental team clear up the worst affected areas and also consider any tried and tested forms of education and enforcement action to help prevent the problem becoming worse.
Ultimately though it is the responsibility of individual dog owners and walkers to ensure that they clean up after their pet. We would encourage everyone to play their part and keep the streets and open spaces of Hesleden clean for all to enjoy.
