STEPS are being taken to stop dog fouling in the Luttons area.

Luttons Parish Council is supporting the Safer Ryedale campaign “Take the lead – Take the Bag” and posters are being put up in the area embracing West and East Lutton and Helperthorpe.

Although the Dogs (Fouling of Land) Act does not cover all areas the parish council is appealing for dog owners to keep footpaths and verges clean and free of dog mess.
