DO you know this woman? Carmarthenshire County Council’s enforcement team are trying to track her down for not picking up her dog’s poo on a town centre pavement.
The woman was captured on CCTV walking along with her dog on John Street in Carmarthen on the morning of Saturday, December 9.
The video clip shows the woman waiting for her dog to defecate and making no attempt to clear it up before walking off leaving the mess behind.
It is an offence not to clear up after your dog.
If you fail to comply with the Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) you are committing a criminal offence and can be issued with a fixed penalty notice of £100, reduced to £50 if paid within 10 days. The maximum fine if prosecuted in the magistrates court is £1,000.
The council’s executive board member for responsible for enforcement, Cllr Philip Hughes said: “We have a zero tolerance for dog fouling in Carmarthenshire. The majority of dog owners act responsibly by cleaning up after their pets in public places, however there is a minority who have complete disregard of the law and it’s completely unacceptable.
“Not only is it an unpleasant smell and the mess created when it gets on pram wheels, wheelchairs, shoes and clothing, there is a potential health risk associated with dog faeces. We will continue to use our powers to fine anyone who is caught in person or by CCTV not cleaning up after their dog. Be warned we will be watching!”
