She stated: “Whilst the council does not drop litter or foul the footpaths, we are expected to clean it up and our staff do an amazing job day-in day-out.
“Most people are supportive and I thank them for that.
“I’m particularly grateful to the army of volunteers who regularly turn out in all weathers to pick litter in local communities across the borough.
“However, it frustrates me that a minority continues to think that it is acceptable to drop litter and to leave dog dirt on footpaths, beaches and in parks and open spaces where it can pose a serious health hazard, particularly to playing children.”
The recommendation to residents and guests is to all the time bin their litter on location or to take it home and get rid of it there.
Dog homeowners are requested to place their pets’ bagged faeces in one of many devoted bins supplied in varied areas by the council or in a basic litter bin.
If there is no such thing as a bin available then it needs to be taken home for disposal.

“As a council we are committed to developing Hartlepool as a destination that people want to keep returning to and it is important to ensure that their first impressions of the town are always positive.”
