Llanelli dog owner fined
A Llanelli dog owner has been fined £75 for failing to clean up after his pet.
The council’s environmental enforcement officers issued a fixed penalty notice to the man on the Machynys coast road in Llanelli.
Failure to pay could lead to prosecution in the magistrates court and a maximum fine of £1,000.
Carmarthenshire County Council is working hard to tackle the problem of dog fouling and enforcement officers regularly carry out patrols the county.
Executive board member for the environment Councillor Philip Hughes said: “Dog mess left anywhere is a serious health risk. Hopefully this will act as a warning to others that this type of anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated and those caught flouting the law will be prosecuted.”
The council is appealing to the public to help identify those responsible. Anyone with any information is asked to contact Carmarthenshire Direct on 01267 234567.
Councillor Hughes added: “The council is determined to stop the problem of dog fouling in Carmarthenshire and improve the environment for both residents and visitors.”
