Dog Owners - Bag it and Bin It
Free poop scoop bags are available from the Poulton Neighbourhood Management office in a mission to reduce dog fouling on the streets.
Dog fouling is a nuisance and we would like to encourage dog owners to be responsible for their pets and clean up after them.
Please come and pick up your free bags and remember to put used bags in the bin.
Allowing your dogs to foul on the pavement could land you with a £50 fine and repeat offenders could be fined up to £1,000. The Police Community Support Officers can issue fixed penalty notices for dog fouling.
Please report any dog fouling ‘hot spots’ to the Lancaster City Council Dog Wardens by telephoning 582935.
Cocklers’ Memorial Garden
Young people from the Prince’s Trust have created a lasting memorial to the 23 Chinese cocklers’ who lost their lives in the bay.
The team from the Prince’s Trust approached Poulton Neighbourhood Management for financial support for the memorial gardens and we were pleased to assist with a grant of around £220 for a commemorative plaque.
The resourceful youngsters managed to raise enough support from local businesses to cover the £2000 needed for the entire project. Other organisations, including Lancaster City Council, donated equipment, skips, catering, flowers, tools and services. At an official opening event on 5th July, members of the Chinese community provided the catering.
Included in the memorial is a plaque engraved with the names of all of the people who lost their lives in the cockling disaster.
Lancaster City Council have agreed to maintain the memorial gardens so that it is a respectful place to remember those who lost their lives.
