Issue - meetings

Mr Neil MacIntyre of Oban Community Council queried what action was being taken in the area to address the significant issue of dog fouling and why no fines were being issued locally.

The Council’s Streetscene Area Manager advised that there were wardens being brought in from other areas and patrols would be stepped up.  He encouraged reporting of incidents from the public which would allow his service to follow up the complaint.  This could include any routine for dog walking or type of dog etc and the caller could remain anonymous.

Councillor McCuish asked what was being done to publicise the phone line and suggested that the phone number could be on the Warden’s van.  The Streetscene Area Manager advised he would take this suggestion onboard.
