Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council is watching irresponsible dog owners with its latest 'watching eyes' campaign. Reminding dog owners of their personal responsibility to clean up after their dog, the campaign will see glow in the dark watching eyes signs installed in various trouble spots across the borough. Acting as a warning, the signs will highlight to thoughtless dog owners that this behaviour does not go unnoticed even in the darker evenings. Lurgan Model Primary School pupils Kaitlyn, Max, Charlotte, Eoghan and Katie along with Principal Neill Campbell joined with Chair of Environmental Services Cllr Keith Haughian, Head of Environmental Health Gillian Topping and Community Engagement Officer Pamela Hanna to launch the campaign. �Edward Byrne Photography
