Residents of North East Lincolnshire are being encouraged to support local authorities in their fight against dog fouling, a concern that has burdened many communities in the area. The council, having issued almost 300 fines for pet-related incidents in the past twelve months, is urging people to utilise doorbell cameras and CCTV to provide evidence of wrongdoers. This initiative not only seeks to keep a clean environment but also aims to restrain health concerns related to dog waste, such as neosporosis, which can affect both animals and humans. Additionally, the council is looking to commend responsible dog owners who ensure their pets’ waste is appropriately discarded. Through community involvement, North East Lincolnshire Council aims to create a cleaner and more enjoyable environment for everyone.
