COTTINGHAM: Free bags are available for dog-owners to dispose of their pets' waste.
Following a successful pilot scheme, Cottingham Parish Council has announced it will continue to provide the bags for another 12 months.
A council spokesman said: "Our office staff are receiving an increasing number of complaints about dog fouling in the village.
"We would once again ask that you clean up after your pets.
"The snickets in the village seem to suffer particularly badly and, as they are not always well lit, the problem is spread."
The bags are available from the Parish Council Office at 9 The Cottages, Market Green and the KGV Sports Pavilion. Supplies of the bags are limited.
HULL: A charity that treats sick pets belonging to people on low incomes has appealed for volunteers.
Hull PetAid hospital in Brunswick Avenue, run by the PDSA, needs people to help on reception and in the waiting room.
Both roles help clients and their pets before and after their consultations.
Hours are flexible, but a minimum commitment of half a day a week is required.
