Sponsors sought for Bexley Council's dog poo bags

Sponsors for dog poo bags are being sought by a south-east London council to try and plug the gap in local authority funding.

The bags, which will feature companies's logos, will be handed out to residents in Bexley's parks and green spaces.

Bexley Council said: "Companies will not only be promoting their business but will be helping to encourage dog owners to clean up after their pets."

The council said it had to make at least £34m worth of savings by 2018.
