Dog owners in Oldham raise concerns over irresponsible ownership
Walkers in Daisy Nook Country Park report mixed experiences with dog ownership in Oldham. Barry Moran, 80, says occasional irresponsible owners let dogs bite others, while Tammy, 53, notes most owners clean up after pets. Clive Penson and Anne Stott, both 67, say owners are generally responsible, putting dogs on leads near horses. Clive Highton, 63, calls some actions 'anti-social behaviour' including letting dogs foul streets without cleaning up. Dog fouling has increased since bins were removed from the park two years ago, with some owners leaving bags on fences intending to collect them later.
