Issues in respect of Sandy Park are often raised with me.
Sandy Park is the play area/open space next to the Balgillo Park housing area.
It was recently brought to my attention that there is an increase in dog fouling
and that a damaged dog bin has never been replaced. I contacted the Environment
Department about it; although the council isn’t responsible for the upkeep and maintenance
of the park it is responsible for dog fouling collection and disposal. In response
I have been advised that dog fouling notices were placed at the entrances to
the park earlier this week, and that an animal control officer has been
monitoring and will continue to do so. Arrangements
are being made to have the missing dog bin replaced
