During the latest Covid Lockdown period, the Board of
Port Erin Commissioners was pleased to receive a letter and suggestion from 7
year old Leo Kerr to improve the local shared spaces within Port Erin.
Having used the local spaces to exercise during the
lockdown, Leo was disappointed to notice the amount of dog fouling in the local
area and felt so strongly that he designed a poster to encourage dog walkers to
pick up after their dogs.
Godfrey Egee, Chair of Port Erin Commissioners said, “The
Board was pleased that one of the younger members of our community has taken
the time to help address the issue of dog fouling within the village in such a
positive manner. Port Erin Commissioners has installed poo bag dispensers
around the village, so there really is no excuse not to pick up after your dog.
The fact that our younger community members feel the need to ask people to pick
up after their dogs, is heartening but equally disappointing that they need
to.”
The posters designed by Leo have been made into stickers
which will be stuck on litter bins and lampposts and will also be shared across
our website and social media platforms and around the village.
