Yes, all publicity's good publicity.

As an old friend of mine, a media whore, used to say.

Hyndburn's been firmly put in the spotlight...yet again.

Even if that light's illuminating a big, steaming pile of dog turd.

Hell your right Rindi, Hyndburn the dog poo capital of the world

Perhaps this dog poo thing has got out of hand. I agree it is distasteful for dog owners not to pick it up and penalties must be issued using the current legislation, and perhaps it would be likely to happen if we were not subject to all the cutbacks.

But lets keep it in proportion, dog poo is biodegradable, and does not exist forever.

Lets perhaps focus on all the litter that is dropped, the travelers that invade the borough leaving behind a large mess and a big legal bill, the gangs of "kids" that hang around areas intimidating people. The empty shops, the lack of jobs.

Do we really want to be in the spotlight as the town that picks a packet of poo and posts it, then prosecutes.

Do you mean the 'Artist Hall'?

Not many stalls left selling downstairs but it seems upstairs is Ab-Fab, for cheap artists.
Erm, I mean cheap artists studios.

Oh hang on though, maybe comment one was correct.

Perhaps if we really hope, the council will pay for a Celebrity trader to come along and take us through the mysterious process of customers parting with cash for goods they require, I know it's an old fashioned idea for a Market Hall to be used for Market stalls, but it was good enough for our ancestors, just maybe with a little effort it could be offered again for us?

Just Google 'Ken Moss dog dirt'.

It's gone global!

Page, after page, after page.

Reported on, worldwide.

As befits an International Council of some renown...on the global stage.

For anyone hard of hearing, that's Google Labour councillor, 'Ken Moss'.

Don't put the similarly sounding 'canine mess' into your search engine. As it could create a health hazard, and perhaps blind a passing kiddy, who happens to fall asleep on your key-board.

Searching for 'canine mess dog dirt' just brings a whole load of other shi'ite, fundamentally not concerning Hyndburn International Council's dogging dollops of shame.

Welcome to the internet, land of hysteria and 'news' being blown ever so slightly out of proportion.

Good boy.

That's the attitude.

I'm sure someone will be along soon.

To clean up the mess, and take a DNA sample from it.

Ken, Lord of all things doggy, while your about I have heard there are several dogs running about on Huncoat playing fields that might not have the legally required collar and tag with owners name and address on. Please send the dog warden to remove these strays. You may wish him to be accompanied by a Police officer.

The Control of Dogs Order 1992

Wearing of collars by dogs

2.—(1) Subject to paragraph (2) below, every dog while in a highway or in a place of public resort shall wear a collar with the name and address of the owner inscribed on the collar or on a plate or badge attached to it.

Offences

3. The owner of a dog or the person in charge of a dog who, without lawful authority or excuse, proof of which shall lie on him, causes or permits the dog to be in a highway or in a place of public resort not wearing a collar as prescribed in article 2(1) above shall be guilty of an offence against the Animal Health Act 1981.


Seizure of dogs

4. Any dog in respect of which an offence is being committed against this Order may be seized and treated as a stray dog under section 3 of the Dogs Act 1906(1) or under section 149 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990.

Enforcement

5.—(1) This Order shall be executed and enforced by the officers of a local authority (and not by the police force for any area).

(2) In this article “local authority” and “officer” have the same meaning as in section 149 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990.

It couldn't have been, 'blown out of proportion', if someone hadn't mentioned it to the press in the first place who did that Ken?

Please don't be so patronising next time you post on here, we know things can be blown out of proportion, someone even gave the press a story about doggy poo and night vision glasses! Whoever it was should rejoin the real world, maybe good old fashioned fine enforcement would bring better P.A. results?
