Bag it - bin it campaign

A six-week campaign encouraging more dog owners in Ferndown to bag and bin dog poo has been launched in the town. A team of volunteers led by Cllr Jason Lawford distributed leaflets to owners at favourite dog walking locations to encourage responsible dog ownership. 

Pet store group PamPurredPets has sponsored the campaign by offering free samples of biodegradable poo bags to dog owners who return the questionnaire to their Ferndown store.

Councillor Lawford says, “The idea of the campaign is to initially encourage dog owners to be more responsible, to seek feedback from residents about problem areas, and receive suggestions for new dog bin locations. We will then use this feedback following the campaign, to work with East Dorset District Council to find ways to provide new dog bins, and to direct the dog warden to problem areas.”
