2 How many Fixed Penalty Notices were issued for the same period,

     please give yearly figures.

2.      I can confirm that 239 Fixed Penalty Notices were issued under The
Litter (Northern Ireland) Order 1994 – unfortunately we do not have this
information broken down by year

     3. If the council participated in a campaign about dog fouling

     during that period please state when.

3.      The Council aim to promote responsible dog ownership throughout
the Borough and place advertisements in the local media throughout the
year on various dog control issues, including dog fouling. 

        The Council also run an educational programme aimed at children
and carry out visits and talks to various schools and community groups
throughout the Borough.

        We have also placed an Agrippa advertisement on the side of a
Council bin lorry aimed at promoting responsible dog ownership and
encouraging dog owners to clean up after their pets.

I trust this answers your query.

Kind regards
