This is South Wales | Owner didn't clean up

This is South Wales | Owner didn't clean up: "A DOG owner has been fined £75 for failing to clean up after her pet during a Poop Scoop Week event in Pendine.

The 48-year-old woman from Llanelli was issued with a fixed penalty notice of £75 by the council's environmental enforcement officers.

They were on patrol in the area at the time of the incident which happened at the mini golf course near the Museum of Speed where children were playing.

Failure to pay could lead to prosecution in the magistrates' court and a fine of up to £1,000. The incident occurred during a National Poop Scoop Week 2011 event to raise awareness on dog fouling and its consequences.

On July 28, the council's poop scoop team were in the village with information and advice and free poop bags.

On the same day a 41-year–old woman was also issued with a fixed penalty notice of £75 for throwing litter.

She was seen by officers throwing a cigarette end near the Museum of Speed."
