Members of Chipping Sodbury Town Trust gathered at The Ridings Playing Fields on Saturday to speak with dog walkers over issues with dog mess.

The trust have revealed that they have been trying to combat the problem over the last few months.

There were discussions over the installation of cctv cameras to catch offenders, however a decision was made to try and speak to dog walkers first.

The trust set up a tent on the field to speak with owners and runners at the popular Chipping Sodbury parkrun.

They tried to convince people to sign up for the Green Dog Walkers Pledge.

That is a scheme, started by the council, to ensure that everyone picks up after their dog.
