Please Bag It and Bin It
Please help make Troopers Hill a space that everyone can enjoy by continuing to 'bag it and bin it' and by encouraging others to do the same. There are 4 dog mess bins on Troopers Hill LNR at entrances. There are additional bins on Troopers Hill Field. All bins are emptied twice each week. If you find you are short of dog poo bags these are available from Julian our Park Keeper and from Friends of Troopers Hill at our events. If we are not around then ask another dog owner, responsible owners carry more than they need just in case. "Every time your dog fouls, 'bag it and bin it’ - whether it is in a park or a roadside gutter. Remember, the rain does not wash the problem away, as some lazy, anti-social people think." - The Dogs Trust | |
Please Report Irresponsible Dog OwnersIt is an offence for a dog owner not to immediately clear up after their dog has fouled anywhere on Troopers Hill LNR, Troopers Hill Field, Troopers Hill Woods and most open areas in Bristol including pavements and all parks. Dog fouling left on the ground by irresponsible dog owners is not only unsightly, it is unacceptable and is against the law. "The regulations state specifically, that being unaware that the dog has fouled, or not having a suitable means of removing the faeces is not a reasonable excuse for failing to clean up after your dog" - Keep Britain Tidy To report an irresponsible dog owner please call 0117 922 2500 or email dog.warden@bristol.gov.uk with the following details: "It is every owner's duty to clean up after their dog. There are no excuses. Fouling is unacceptable" - The Dogs Trust 2012 Clear Up Campaign
"I hope that in 2012 no dog walkers are fined for dog fouling because they will all have cleared up after their dogs." - Susan, Chair of Friends of Troopers Hill.
