Commissioners in Marown are warning against dog fouling in the parish.
The authority says one or more dog owners have been allowing their pets to foul in the Ballagarey Estate, sometimes on people's front lawns.
Officials are now asking those responsible to make sure they clean up after their canine, saying 'just walking away isn't the right thing to do'.
Commissioners have taken to social media to issue the message.
