Hi.

Dog fouling was highlighted as an issue to be addressed from the Theale's Future survey and has subsequently been included in the Theale's Future Action Plan (reference D1).

The actions from this objective are to "Educate dog walkers" and to "Get new dog bins installed".

Before dog litter bin installation can take place, there needs to be an understanding of where the issue occurs and how frequently.

To that end I suggest we build up a record of where and when dog littering occurs and can then make a proposal to the Dog Wardens within the Countryside team at West Berks Council.

I am happy to get the ball rolling with what I see and welcome others to add their observations:

Thu 10/06/2010 - High Street, outside Brewery Court
Thu 17/06/2010 - Path between High Street and Swallowfield Gardens (next to Dog Fouling notice, ironically)
Sat 19/06/2010 - Station Road, just north of the overpass

Regards,

Jimbo
