That's when it was finally abolished. I think it hadn't really been enforced for a good few years before that.

Re: How could we deal with doggy issues?
 

Have you lot ever thought that there are some decent dog owners about, some of us do clean up after our dogs.

Re: How could we deal with doggy issues?
 

yeah but just like every thing else, its the bad ones that spoil it for everyone.

Re: How could we deal with doggy issues?
 

There probably are but are there many like me that would ban pensioners too, don't know whats worse, dog muck under your feet or the pensioners, at least you can get past the dog muck :D

Your time will come

Since the responsible owners already spend a fortune in caring for their dogs well, perhaps the reintroduction of a licence, and taking responsibility for registering, chipping etc., might dissuade the irresponsible from owning dogs, and everyone will be happy, because the decent owners, like yourself, won't all be tarred with the same brush,;)

Re: How could we deal with doggy issues?
 

There are plenty of decent dog owners K.S.H. but its the irresponsible few that get all dog owners a bad name, I see plenty of people walking their dogs near to where I live, and its a long time since I saw anybody not cleaning up after their charges, that might just be because they see me watching:D

Whats good for dogs should be good for Cats.

Enough Cat Poo In my Yard (I dont have a cat). DNA to Find the irrisponsable cat owners who just let it out to do what they wants.

And what about cat let loose, causing a car accident, we should chip them to so if it does cause the above, the owner can be traced and held accountable.

Re: How could we deal with doggy issues?
 

True enough, I suppose.

Also true is that you don't hear of many kids been mauled to death by cats.;)

Re: How could we deal with doggy issues?
 

Depends what type of cat.;)

I would add Compulsary Third Party Insurance.

If we gave the contract for revamping the Market Hall to a group of Korean Workers they'd soon solve the problems for us!! Labrador and Fried Rice anyone!!!:D

:mosher:... wasn't it cheaper if the dog was black & white???

Re: How could we deal with doggy issues?
 

Surprised Garinda hasn't queried the varying prices in different areas .. dog pooh, dog pooh just the same wherever, except might be a better diet in some LOL. (sorry, I couldn't resist this one either :p)

Don't think you will see pension age with remarks like that K.S.H. :D

I still think the cost of Neil's suggestions would over-ride the benefits here.
Would certainly need more than one dog warden in Hyndburn to test all the dollops.

When it came in, there would be people on benefits/pensioners, who already owned a dog and could not afford these new charges, to make some sort of claim for an allowance to allow them to keep them .. otherwise, would they have to have their animal put down ? More expense.

Even so, this would be prejudice against low income families from keeping a dog as the costs would be prohibitive.
