1  Petition - Dog Fouling outside Johnstone Credit Union Office
There was submitted a report by the Director of Finance & Resources relative to a
petition received from Ms M Bryce in relation to dog fouling outside Johnstone Credit
Union Office, the terms of which were detailed in the report.  
Ms Bryce was in attendance at the meeting, accompanied by Ms Walker, and
addressed the Board in support of her petition.  The Board heard from the

the petition which was set out at Appendix 1 of the report and detailed the planned
work which would be undertaken to address the issues raised.  
In terms of Standing Order 59, Councillor Burns moved that no action be taken as the
Service had outlined the planned work which would be undertaken to address the
issues raised in the petition. This was agreed unanimously.  
DECIDED: That no action be taken as the Service had outlined the planned work
which would be undertaken to address the issues raised in the petition.
