GODFREY the 'Good Dog' has been in town to help promote responsible dog ownership and promote St Helens Council's 'bag it and bin it' campaign.

As mascot of the Good Dog Campaign, Godfrey joined in the authority's spring clean promotion which included a visit to Sherdley Park to encourage local dog owners to clean up their dog mess and put it in the bins provided throughout local parks. Dog mess in parks and in all areas used by the public causes distress and is a potential health hazard.

Free poop scoops are available from council libraries, local offices and from the Ranger Services while the council's dog wardens can be contacted on St Helens 456335 for advice and assistance with dog control issues.
