AS a dog owner and appreciator of our beautiful Cheshire countryside, I appeal to fellow dog owners to please bin their dog poo bags in designated bins or take them home for disposal.

It takes three to six months for a biodegradable bag to breakdown; leaving them hanging on branches or strewn along grass verges is not attractive and a danger to public health.

Let’s make Knutsford’s parks and public spaces dog poo and poo bag free in 2017!

With hopeful thanks.
