Dear Sir/Madam
DOG FOULING (SCOTLAND) ACT 2003 - DRAFT GUIDANCE
Further to my letter of 2 May, I attach a copy of the draft guidance to assist with the implementation of the above Act which comes into effect on 22 October 2003. I should be grateful if you could forward any comments you may have on the draft guidance to Patrick Down (tel: 0131 244 7050) at the above address, or by e-mail to patrick.down@scotland.gsi.gov.uk by 22 August 2003. Following consideration of the responses received, we anticipate that the final version of the guidance will issue to interested parties no later than the end of September.
As indicated in my earlier letter the Executive is planning to undertake a national publicity campaign to make people aware of the new legislation and to promote responsible dog ownership. We hope that individual local authorities will take this opportunity to support this campaign at a local level. We are currently liaising with COSLA on this and in particular the method of engaging local authorities at an early stage in support of the national campaign and the scope for circulating good practice currently in place by individual local authorities.
Yours faithfully
ANN CALLAGHAN (MISS)
