Crotlieve Councillor Mark Gibbons is highlighting the issue of dog fouling in Warrenpoint and especially on the waterfront.
Cllr Gibbons said "I think you'd agree Warrenpoint front shore is looking so well at the moment after the recent upgrading and refurbishment. Additionally, it is evident more and more people are flocking to our beautiful town lately because of the Blues Festival and gorgeous weather. It is therefore a shame, that a tiny minority of people are still letting their dogs poo on our streets and housing estates, without a care in the world. A sense of entitlement maybe?
"Warrenpoint beach is another regular area of choice for dogs to poo in the sand as their owners admire the beautiful scenery on offer and this is the same soiled sand our children run to play on with excitement. These actions are irresponsible and so dangerous, especially for children."
Cllr Gibbons continued "I am asking the tiny minority of dog owners who regularly let their dogs poo across our Town-to please take some pride in your dog. In yourself and most importantly, in the Warrenpoint community.
"This Coastal gem and gateway to the Mournes and Carlingford Lough deserves every ounce of respect. It certainly doesn't deserve to be treated like this. Take responsibility. Everybody else is doing it, so why can't you?"
