Dog Wastebag Dispensers

Provision of free dog wastebags

The Council has decided to discontinue the practice of supplying free dog wastebags.  But bags will be available for the dispensers listed below until the current supply runs out.

Please tie up tightly before putting the filled bags into the ordinary litter bins, which will be emptied on a regular schedule by Kirklees Council.

(LP = Lamp Post)

Grange Moor

LP2 Briestfield Road

LP4 Back Lane by the children's play park.

Lepton

LP35 Rowley Lane by the entrance to the wood, above the school

LP60 Rowley Lane by the church

LP15 Highgate Lane

LP99 Behind the Doctor's surgery

Please encourage people to pick up after their dogs, and if you see anyone walking away from it, please report to the Kirklees Dog Warden Service via the website: https://www.kirklees.gov.uk/beta/animals/dog-fouling.aspx.  People can be fined if there is a successful conviction. 

Councillors voluntarily fill up the dispensers on a fairly regular basis, but certain dispensers appear to be emptied completely almost as soon as they are filled.  Please remember, dog walkers should take their own bags with them, and use the Parish Council's as an emergency supply.  They are there for everyone, so don't take someone else's share.

Keyholders:

Grange Moor: Cllr Marjorie Wheelhouse,  Stocksmoor & Thurstonland: Cllr Robert Barraclough.    Their contact details are on the Contacts Page.  The Lepton dispensers are filled by a volunteer, so please contact the Clerk about that one.
