TOWN councillors have agreed to join neighbouring Community Councils in putting up dog waste bins in key areas of Abergavenny.

At the November meeting it was agreed to purchase ten bins as a trial to see how successful they are in reducing the problem of pet owners leaving dog waste in the streets.

It was agreed that the exact positioning of these bins would now need to be identified, and that wherever possible they should be close to ordinary litter bins so that there is no excuse for people using the wrong bin for their waste.
