A FRAGRANT method of persuading owners to clean up after their dogs is being introduced by Stockton Borough Council.
Free scented poop scoop bags are being supplied by the council.
It is also installing 120 dog dirt bins, as well as 7,500 dog fouling and littering warning signs.
The bins are expected to be in place within weeks.
"The bins, signs and free bags mean there is no excuse for dog owners not to pick up after their pets," said Mark Berry, principal environmental health officer.
