Tenby: So, there’s this strange thing happening in Tenby. People are noticing blue spray paint on the sidewalks, and it’s all about dog mess. Yep, you heard that right!
Apparently, the bright blue paint is being used to mark where dog owners have failed to clean up after their pets. It’s happening along St John’s Hill and down to The Green. Talk about a colorful way to get the message across!
One local was scratching their head about it, saying it’s pretty bizarre. They spotted the blue paint while walking their dog and couldn’t help but notice the mess left behind. It’s like a weird art installation, but not the kind you want to see!
In Pembrokeshire, there’s a group called WISE that’s on the lookout for these messy offenders. They can hand out fines for not picking up after pets, along with other littering issues. A £150 fine for dog fouling? Ouch!
And it’s not just Tenby. Nearby Carmarthenshire is also cracking down on dog owners who don’t clean up. They’ve even been sharing CCTV footage on social media to catch the culprits. Seems like they’re serious about keeping the streets clean!
One council in England is doing something similar, using spray paint to shame dog owners. After seeing a big jump in dog mess complaints, they decided to take action. It’s a bit of a messy situation, but at least they’re trying to tackle it!
