A CLAMPDOWN against dog fouling will commence after more complaints were reported to police this week.
Although officers can’t prosecute those caught failing to pick up after their pets, the issue has been passed on to Kingdom, the enforcement agency employed by multiple area councils across Barnsley who are responsible for cleaning up streets.
Cath Fairweather, Barnsley Council’s tasking officer, said: “Kingdom officers are looking at hotspot areas and will be patrolling. Out-of-hours patrols will also be carried out as it’s an ongoing problem and a task for all areas.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
