Councillor Peter Scott has long been calling for more to be done to tackle "irresponsible dog owners" who are failing to pick up after their four-legged friends.

The Newport councillor first launched an anti-dog poo campaign back in 2016 after finding a whopping 136 'instances' behind houses on Wrekin Avenue in the town.

While he said numbers had declined, they were back on the rise, and he was calling for a borough-wide campaign to highlight the negative effects.
