CALVIÀ TOWN HALL WILL LAUNCH A CAMPAIGN TO RAISE AWARENESS AMONGST THE CITIZENSHIP ABOUT THE COLLECTION OF EXCREMENTS

The Local Police has intensified the surveillance and the controls

Calvià Town Hall will launch, through the company Calvià 2000, a campaign to raise awareness amongst the citizenship with regards to the compliance of the municipal bylaw regulating the welfare and possession of animals that live in the human environment, especially regarding the collection of excrements.

In fact, controls and preventive surveillance have already been intensified these days, from the Local Police, in order to avoid antisocial attitudes.

The campaign will remind the citizenship of the obligation to withdraw the pet excrements from the public way and the fines that can be imposed in case of non-compliance.

According to the Article 17:

Are minor infractions:

i) Walk an animal without carrying utensils to collect the possible excrements

j) Allow dogs to orinate on the buildings' facades, curtain walls, barriers, etc. and on the urban furniture

The penalties provided in case of minor infractions may reach the amount of 300 euros.

Are serious infractions:

c) The abandonment of animal excrements in public ways

The penalties provided in case of serious infractions may reach the amount of 1.500 euros.

From Calvià 2000 it has been detected that the areas where there are usually more excrements are in:

• Son Ferrer: housing area (from Tudor St. up to Falcó St.)

• Peguera: gardened area of Savina St.

• Santa Ponça: the stretch of Ramon de Montcada, from the angle of Puig de Galatzó up to the entrance of Huguet des Far
