A talented 10-year-old girl has created an eye-catching poster to encourage people to pick up after their pets. Satine Cator’s design was named overall winner in a competition run as part of Durham County Council’s responsible dog ownership campaign in Ferryhill and Chilton areas.
Satine, who attends Chilton Primary School, came out on top with her ‘Scoop that Poop’ poster, which will be made into bin stickers and put on dog fouling bins in the area. Every entry will also be displayed on school fences.
Dog fouling can be reported at www.durham.gov.uk/dogfouling or by calling 03000 261 000. People can join the Green Dog Walkers scheme by downloading a form at www.durham.gov.uk/greendogwalkers or call 03000 261 000.
