Since we reported on Ruddington’s dog fouling problem back in April, we’re sorry to say this is still one of the main problems reported to the Parish Council. Over the summer, Rushcliffe Borough Council launched a new, tougher approach to tackling the issue with its ‘This stinks’ advertising campaign, which shows the unpleasant impact that dog fouling has on various people. Offenders are warned that the Borough Council is now taking a zero tolerance approach to the issue and anyone caught breaking the law will be dealt with through the courts. No one wants a £1,000 fine, and no one wants to see dog mess on our streets and playgrounds – so clean it up!
