Horse 'nappies'

Nov 15 2007

A resort is to bring in horse "nappies" to keep its streets clean of muck.

The famous horse carriages, or landaus, which ride along Blackpool promenade will be fitted with the dung-catchers from next Easter if the proposals are approved.

A consultation found that visitors, residents and businesses said while it might be good for the garden, manure scattered over the street detracted from the attractiveness of the seafront.
