Parishes across Daventry District are signing up to a colourful new initiative aimed at tackling the blight of dog fouling on their local streets and parks. Daventry District Council (DDC) is providing them with cans of brightly-coloured biodegradable paint to spray on dog mess to highlight the extent of fouling in their communities and to help shock irresponsible owners into clearing up after their pets. The move follows a recent BBC Panorama report which focused on residents in Manchester who were convinced that the spraying of dog poo resulted in a significant reduction in fouling. In response to this initiative, DDC’s environmental health officers have bought cans of brightly coloured biodegradable spray paint and invited parish councils to nominate concerned residents who are prepared to apply the spray to dog poo within their public parks and green spaces. So far 15 parish councils have responded to the initiative and the Council will begin to distribute the sprays to willing volunteers this week. Any interest from Naseby Parishioners, please get in touch with us at Naseby Parish Council. People can report dog fouling online to the Environmental Improvement Team at Daventry District Council or call 01327 871100.
