Residents and traders in Polperro have joined forces in the fight against dog mess.

Locals and visitors will be invited to sign up to a ‘doggie charter’ of good behaviour, and pledge to clear up after their pets.

The campaign is being sponsored by Pets at Home, who will be providing ‘rewards’ for dogs whose owners do the right thing

A poster has been produced to highlight the message that ‘Polperro welcomes responsible dog owners’ and copies are available from Steve Douress, at Rosina’s on Lansallos Street, or Giles Thomas at Toad Hall Cottages.
