KILDARE: Dog dirt warning signs for Sallins
Signs bearing the message “No poo on the shoe” posters” are on the way to Sallins.
They are aimed at reminding dog owners to clean up after their pets.
Cllr Carmel Kelly also asked that the community warden to patrol the town “at certain times to try to minimise the amount of dog litter on the footpaths which has become a serious issue.”
Kildare County Council says a number of the new posters “will be installed at key locations in the village and it’s also planned to install a temporary (approximately for four weeks) variable messaging system which will remind dog owners to pick up after their dogs.”
This unit is similar to the audio warning unit but is more suited to built-up areas and it will be provided at a location to be agreed. Stencilling is also planned for areas including near the school, on the main street. and on the link road. The community warden will liaise with Cllr Kelly concerning patrols.
