Winner announced in youth anti-dog fouling drawing competition

The design (pictured) was the winning entry in a youth drawing competition held by North Kesteven District Council over the issue. It was created by Ava Dickens, of North Hykeham.

“I wanted my poster to be eye-catching and memorable. It took me ages to come up with a catchy slogan but it’s actually a simple matter – dogs can’t use loos so clean up their poos,” Ava said. “Hopefully people will remember this, as well as my drawing of a dog sat on the loo! I seriously hope my poster can make a difference in some way.”

As well as seeing her poster used across the district, Ava won an Amazon voucher for her poster.
