Dog fouling has become high on the list of problems for residents in the Roxborough Park area, Moy.
That's according to local SDLP Councillor Denise Mullen.
She has said that many residents have been complaining to her in regards to the amount of dog mess on local footpaths:
"There is no excuse for dog poo to be left in the street, grass verge, tree, hedge of anywhere else.
"Speaking not just as a political representative but as a resident of the estate, the dog fouling is getting out of hand."
Councillor Mullen has called on the council to erect dog fouling signage along pathways in Roxborough Park to discourage dog owners.
She went on to say:
"Leaving it on paths is just selfish and irresponsible and then responsible dog owners get tarred with the same brush."
The council will be leafleting homes in the area, warning about fines.
