Upchurch Parish Council has installed a new litter & dog waste bin in Oak Lane opposite the junction with Chaffes Lane.
It's hoped more owners will now clean up after their dog and dispose of their bagged waste responsibly instead of allowing their pet to foul the grass verge used as a footpath between Chaffes and Canterbury Lane.
You can dispose of bagged dog waste in any public litter bin or take it home to your green wheelie bin.
It is an offence to allow a dog under your control to foul a public place, and Swale Borough Council has the power to fine owners who do not clean up after their dog.
You can report dog fouling to Swale Borough Council at: https://bit.ly/2VA0csW
Allowing your dog to mess in a public place and not clean it up is antisocial and unacceptable to all residents.
Please leave our village spaces clean and tidy for others.
Thank you
