Dog poo and litter nuisance

Published Date: 25 June 2009
YOU recently published a letter from my local councillor, Sheila Denwood, with regards to dog poo and litter in Scotforth West.
I would like to say through your paper how I agree with her and how true her words are.

I have also noticed how prevalent these two disgusting practices are, returning here again to our lovely area of Scotforth and Greaves.

Nearly every morning as I leave my front gate – there it is and I have to clean it up because I cannot bear to look at it!

I am a senior citizen and cannot abide this irresponsible behaviour from a certain minority.

The same problem with the litter. On many occasions, I have had to ask Coun Denwood to have rubbish removed which has just been thrown into bags and plonked at the corner of our street.

I realise the refuse men and dog wardens do their best. But what is happening when we have to keep going on about the same old complaints over and over again? Have people lost their sense of respect for our lovely district or what? I'm not the only resident who feels this way I can assure you.

A fed-up resident of Greaves

EWM,

It also drives me mad the amount of dog poo that is left on the pavements and now seemily all along the road in our village too. Every morning I walk my son down to school and its a nightmare forever watching our step. People seem to go out very early in the morning or very late at night , which in their minds seems to let them get away with not picking up after their dogs.
I myself have three dogs and i never go anywhere without a pocket full of poo bags. I couldnt physically walk away if i hadnt cleaned up after one of my dogs.
The problem is that it gives all of us dog owners a bad name. If you have a dog(s) then be responsible for it , if you cant be responsible , including keeping them under control and picking up their poo in public areas ...then you shouldnt have a dog!
