ALLOTMENT-HOLDERS in Wellington are being reminded that they should keep their dogs on a lead – following new complaints about dog mess.

Wellington Town Council recently heard there had been problems with dog fouling at the allotments – much to the disgust of some of the green-fingered enthusiasts.

“Another complaint of dog fouling on the allotments has been received,” said a report from the council’s allotments committee meeting held on April 29.

“It was agreed that tenants should be reminded that all dogs should be kept on a lead within the communal areas and only allowed off the lead when securely on its owner’s plot.

“Any dog mess should be removed immediately.”
