Dog Fouling Plan

Action to reduce Dog Fouling:  Bag It and Bin It!

The campaign to reduce the incidences of dog fouling in this area continues.  The K9 Clean-Up Team is now consulting on the locations for the first batch of waste bag dispensers - list below.  Please let us know if you have a view on any of the locations.  All sites are subject to receiving the necessary permissions.

We would be most grateful for any help with delivering the consultation leaflets, eg if community groups are distributing information to residences on other issues, could you put one of our leaflets in as an insert?  If you can help we would like to hear from you.

Please Note: Waste bins are supplied and emptied by Kirklees Council.  We are trying to get additional bins out where they are necessary, but there is obviously a limit as to how many additional bins Kirklees is able to provide.

Farnley Tyas: Junction of Woodsome Road and The Village.

Flockton: On the land behind Flockton Working Mens Club.

Grange Moor: On Back Lane, at the bottom of Bedford Avenue.

Highburton: By the entrances to Highburton Recreation Ground and Gregory Fields.

Kirkburton: Seeking an appropriate location.

Kirkheaton: Fields Rise adjacent to the library and the open space.

Lascelles Hall: On Lascelles Hall Road by the entrance to the footpath (adj House No 70).

Lepton: Lamp post 60 on Rowley Lane, above the junction with Green Balk Lane.

Shelley: Hawthorne Way by the end of the footpath on Lamp Post 9.

Shepley: Shepley recreation ground at the top of Firth Street.

Stocksmoor: Moor Road, near to the phone box.

Thurstonland: The Green on Lamp Post 2.
