A SOUTH Milton resident has written to South Hams Council after her friend sent her an interesting dog poo bag from Austria.

Jenny Brown was sent the humourous bag by her friend who lives in Vienna, telling her that they are produced by the city and given free to dog walkers.

Jenny said that the incidences of errant dog mess has been reduced significantly in the areas that the dog poo bags are available, as there is always a poo bag available nearby if you forget your own.

With the slogan GACK - SACK - PACK - ZACK, Jenny suggested to SHDC that they might take up a similar scheme in the South Hams with an English version of: CRAP - WRAP - TRAP - FLAP.

‘It needs no translation as the minimal images say it all’ said Jenny, ‘the slightly comic presentation has obvious appeal.’

South Hams District Council have been contacted for a comment.
