Dog Poop Bags Tied To Trees And Dumped On Streets Leave Residents Bewildered And Angry

A number of locals have taken to social media to share images of plastic bags tied to trees and dumped on paths.

With just four fines for dog fouling in the county last year, locals have been left fuming over poop bags being dumped on streets and in parks.

A number of locals have taken to social media to share images of plastic bags tied to trees and dumped on paths.

Despite signs to clean up after your dog at Castletown House, locals have been left fuming over the amount of bags dumped in the area.

One local said: I'm a dog owner...I can't understand this mentality. It's even worse than not picking it up in the first place."

Another said: "What is the point in bagging it and then throwing it away?"

Another person pointed out, however, that more bins need to be placed along the route.

Dog fouling fines have remained minimal across the county, with three issued in 2022, none in 2023, and just four in 2024.
