Carmarthenshire County Council seeks public help to identify individuals after dog-fouling offences

Update - thanks to this appeal, one of the individuals has been identified and their image has been removed.

Dog fouling is not just unpleasant, it’s a public health hazard and impacts our communities. Carmarthenshire County Council is calling on residents to help identify individuals who have been caught on CCTV failing to clean up after their dogs in Carmarthen.

The incidents occurred on Lammas Street, and images show two separate offenders ignoring their responsibility to keep our streets clean. This behaviour is unacceptable and undermines the efforts of responsible dog owners.

It is hoped that residents may be able to assist in identifying the two individuals.

Carmarthenshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Cabinet member with responsibility for Environmental Enforcement, Cllr Aled Vaughan Owen said:

Once again, we are appealing to the public for help in identifying individuals who have been recorded failing to clean up after their dogs.

Our Environment Enforcement team remains committed to taking action against anyone who breaches environmental regulations in Carmarthenshire, and I urge the small minority of dog owners who do not pick up after their pets to change their behaviour.”

Anyone with information can report this via our website or call 01267 234567.
