POOPER SCOOTERS FOR EREWASH?


Cllr Graham Chapman and Cllr Howard Griffiths

One of the most persistent complaints from residents in Erewash is the amount of dog droppings on footpaths. The most vociferous complaints come from Parents walking their youngsters to and from school and particularly people with pushchairs. I want to introduce Pooper Scooters into Erewash. The idea is a converted motorbike with a vacuum device which firstly sprays the offending dog mess and then removes it.  Pooper Scooters would enable a quick and mobile response to complaints of dog fouling.
The idea was one of many initiatives that were discussed at my recent meeting with Councillor Graham Chapman Deputy Leader of Nottingham City Council. We discussed how a Labour Erewash could make real improvements to our area within existing financial contraints.
Graham was proud of the way Nottingham had been transformed by the City Council. With the remodelled Old Market Square, the tram system and just as importantly, keeping the City clean. Now Nottingham looks more on a level with comparable European Cities. Nottingham shows how a dynamic local Council can make a real difference.
