Leitrim estate to get signs following dog fouling and dumping concerns
Leitrim County Council is to install signs in Carrigallen following concerns over dog fouling and dumping.
Dog fouling and dumping have been taking place in an estate in Leitrim, leading to calls for signage to help address the issue.
At a meeting of Ballinamore Municipal District on September 23, Cllr Róisín Kenny asked that Leitrim County Council install ‘No Dog Fouling’ notices in Barley Field Estate in Carrigallen, as well as ‘No Dumping’ signage in the area around the allotment.
Not included in her motion, Cllr Kenny also asked that signage or fencing be put up behind the allotment, where water runs along the back of the area.
She said the location is quite dangerous and could pose a risk of a child falling into the water.
Cllr Kenny also noted that people are dumping at the location.
A response from the Roads Department stated, “Leitrim County Council will erect these signs in the next couple of weeks.”
