'It’s disgusting that children are having to navigate dog poo when they’re walking or cycling to school'
Belfast City Council is enlisting the help of primary school pupils to encourage dog owners to clean up after their pets.
More recently the council has been contacted by a number of schools to report dog fouling as an issue in their area.Councillor Mickey Murray, chair of Belfast City Council’s People and Communities Committee, said: "As councillors, we know first hand that dog fouling is a blight on communities across the city and it’s something constituents feel very strongly about.
"It’s disgusting that children are having to navigate dog poo when they’re walking or cycling to school. We wanted to give young people the opportunity to have their voices heard and highlight the issue in a creative way - and some lucky pupils will get to see their billboards on display in their local neighbourhood."
