MALLORCA TODAY - Manacor tackles dog mess

It's one of those things that annoys many a resident and many a tourist. Dog mess. The town of Manacor, which includes the resorts of Porto Cristo and Calas de Mallorca, has started a campaign against dogs being allowed to foul the streets. Fines can rise to as much as 3,000 euros, and there is to be a plain-clothed police force to make sure the campaign has some teeth, and this force will be patrolling the most obvious public places, such as children's play and pedestrian areas.
