A senior county council official has asked people to report rogue pet owners who don’t clean after their animals as dog fouling is blighting the very popular Midleton to Youghal Greenway.

However, on a positive note, the council is planning to install permanent toilets for users along parts of the route and it’s hoped the local authority will purchase a VeloPlus wheelchair bike which will make the greenway experience more inclusive for people with disabilities.
