Dog Walkers Urged To Leave Nothing Behind But Footsteps
East Riding of Yorkshire Council is launching Dog Fouling Week under the slogan ‘Leave nothing behind but your footsteps’. Some areas of the East Riding are plagued by dog fouling and despite pleas from the council the nuisance is continuing. As part of its campaign to tackle the problem, which causes distress to residents, the council is holding a week of early morning patrols by its dog wardens in selected areas. Dog Fouling Week starts on Monday, 11 March in Beverley, Bridlington, Goole, Withernsea and the Anlaby, Cottingham and Hessle area. The dog wardens will be supported by other enforcement officers. Fixed penalty notices will be issued to those dog walkers who fail to clean up. The £75 fixed penalty notice is issued under the Fouling of Land by Dogs Order 2009, which makes it an offence to fail to clean up after a dog which defecates on land in the open air to which the public have access. Failure to pay up could land the dog walker in court, which also has the effect of bumping up the cost. Councillor Jackie Cracknell, portfolio holder for community partnerships, said: “The message behind Dog Fouling Week is a simple one, clean…

HULL : Man Attacked At KFC On Beverley Road
A man was assaulted as he waited in a Hull takeaway with his young family. The 46-year-old man was in the KFC on Beverley Road at approximately 1845hrs on Saturday 02 February when the incident occurred. It appears that a dispute broke out in the restaurant between four men and the staff in the store about a suspected counterfeit note that was being offered as payment. It is alleged that the four men were shouting and swearing and the man approached them and asked them to calm down due to the presence of his children, aged six and nine. A verbal altercation then ensued which followed immediately afterwards with the four men allegedly assaulting the 46-year-old father. The victim sustained a broken nose, swollen and bruised left eye, cut above left eye which required stitches and numerous marks and bumps to his face and head. He was treated at Hull Royal Infirmary.

Inquiries continue to identify the remaining suspects and trace any other witnesses to the offence. Police want to hear…
