• Safer Stratford

By following these three SIMPLE STEPS we can work together to turn the tide on dog fouling…

1. Where possible, set aside a designated area within your garden for your dog to use before you go out
2. Carry disposable bags and avoid places where children play
3. Worm your dog at least every six months

THE MESSAGE IS SIMPLE

• scoop it
• bag it
• bin it
