A warning has been issued to all dog owners planning on walking their pets as they take their children to school for the new term.
Following to an increase in dog fouling around the entrances of schools, Knowsley Council’s Dog Warden Service is calling on parents and carers dropping off children to make sure they clean up after their pets. It comes after several complaints on the issue around schools.
Several residents across Knowsley have taken to social media to blast the "disgusting mess" being left behind by dog owners as people are urged to have "pride" in where they live. In a bid to remind those walking their dogs, a number of ‘clean it up’ stencils have been painted on pavements near the entrances of schools across the borough.
