Dog mess is a major problem in Barmouth with police patrols beginning to catch irresponsible owners.
The promenade and Y Wern have the worst problems. A police officer joined the council team, and together, they patrolled these areas. They plan more patrols in the coming weeks.
Officers ask people to report dog fouling to the council, this allows them to take action. One person hoped they would catch culprits soon. Dirty streets reflect badly on responsible owners.
Police patrolled Barmouth with the council officer, focusing on Y Wern and the Promenade. These areas have lots of dog mess.
The enforcement officer will return often. They want to find owners who do not clean up. Report dog fouling using the Gwynedd app so the council can then fine those owners.
The council can fine people for not cleaning up. Fines are £100 but £75 if paid quickly. Paying within 10 days helps, reducing the penalty.
