'There's dog poo everywhere' - fury over irresponsible owners
A Skegness councillor is calling on the public to report incidents of dog fouling after being horrified at what he saw walking on the beach.
Coun Adrian Findley said he was taking his daily exercise with his partner, Sarah, and their Jack Russel pup along Seaview Walk, expecting to enjoy the sunrise.
"I can honestly say it was a beautiful morning down at the water's edge, until we moved up into the untouched sand that the sea hadn't reached," he said.
"That's when our frustration kicked in at the amount of poo everywhere we walked and looked.
"It also angered me to realise that if there are very few visitors at Skegness at the moment, this has to be the disrespectful actions of local residents.
"Since I expressed my anger on social media, I have received many similar complaints.
"I am now urging people to report anyone seen allowing their dog to foul the area and not pick up after it to report the incident to East Lindsey District Council."
East Lindsey District Council commented: "Lots of areas are seeing an increase in dog walking leading to more incidents of dog fouling.
"If you see someone letting their dog foul, please report it to us."
