“Unfortunately it didn’t prompt an overly positive or helpful response from the council, just saying that people are responsible for their own dog mess. We know there’s a few poo bag stations in and around town, but they’ve been empty for weeks, and the bins are often missing or overflowing, especially in school holidays when tourists flock her, so we do think this has something to do with the problem. It’s absolutely not an excuse, because people should always be prepared as dog owners, but think it’s definitely contributing to the repeated dog poo mess.
