Question
What is the Government doing to tackle the issue of dog fouling?
Answer
Answered by Deputy First Minister and Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs
Our funding of Keep Wales Tidy helps deliver the “Leave only pawprints” campaign. This raises awareness of the health risks to people and animals of this unacceptable practice, encouraging responsible dog ownership across Wales. Keep Wales Tidy also works with local authorities to trial interventions and share best practice, for example methods to encourage dog owners to dispose of dog waste in bins.
