Dog poop bags available for members of the Green Dog Walkers Scheme

Cramlington Town Council is encouraging residents to join the Northumberland County Council  Green Dog Walker scheme.

When you join the scheme (which is only open to Northumberland Residents) you’ll receive free biodegradable poop bags for you and to give to other dog walkers, a green dog armband to encourage other dog walkers to talk to you about the scheme and leaflets to hand out to dog walkers, encouraging them to also take the Green Dog Walker pledge.

By signing the pledge you commit to a scheme which includes wearing the armband as often as possible when walking dog(s), cleaning and disposing of dog waste correctly and encouraging others to do the same. You will also follow the scheme’s pledge that Green Dog Walkers® is intended to be a non-confrontational and friendly campaign to change attitudes about dog fouling.

Poop disposal bags can be collected from Cramlington Town Council office between 9.00am -3.30pm Monday to Friday and evidence must be shown that you are a member of the scheme.

The office is located at Surveyor’s House, Blagdon Terrace, NE23 1DN
