Dog Bins Reinstated at Tees Barrage

Dog Bins Reinstated at Tees Barrage – A Small Win for Our Community Last year I contacted Stockton Council about the lack of dog bins at Tees Barrage. For many of us who walk there regularly, especially dog owners, the absence of bins had become a real issue. It made it harder to keep the area clean and safe, and such a well-loved space deserves better. I’m really pleased to share that the council have now worked with the Canal and River Trust , who own the Barrage, to reinstate bins in the area. It might seem like a small step, but it’s an important one for our community. This is a reminder that raising concerns does make a difference. When local people speak up and councils take action, we can create positive change — even in the everyday things that affect our environment and wellbeing. A big thank you to everyone involved for listening and making this happen. Hopefully this sets the tone for further improvements to our shared spaces.

Dog Walks and Accessibility:

Bud, Peter and I had a lovely time at Tees Barrage today, took him for a walkies. Had to use the Beefeater restaurant bins though for his poo bag as there's no dog bins in sight, which reduces accessibility for disabled dog walkers. Already emailed the Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council though so hopefully they rectify this issue. Other than that, I took some pretty pictures of the places that weren't over-littered with dumped poo bags and hopefully once rectified people will be able to enjoy this all the more. Cold today, but still proud of the steps and short walk I managed. Good little exercise for us all. Hope you're all having a wonderful weekend.

Stockton Tees Barriage Park: No bins issue:

Just been to Tees Barrage and there were absolutely no dog bins in sight. Over twelve abandoned filled poo bags so had to try and put this right. *Fingers crossed* Nigel and Norma will resolve this issue asap.
