My view as a former dog owner is that there is no excuse for poop being left behind. But there appear to be plenty of dog owners in the Honor Oak area that don't bother with the scooping after the pooping - the pavements along Garthorne Road and Grierson Road are disgraceful. I've never caught anyone in the act of not scooping which might suggest that whoever they are walks their dog(s) early morning or late at night. I like to think that if I saw it happening I would say something to the owner, especially given that there are little signs on all the lampposts that warn of the potential consequences (?1000 fine I think). But I suspect that wouldn't make much of a difference, other than making me feel better. The Council have obviously made an attempt to address the issue as shown by the presence of the signs, but it doesn't seem to be enforced. Is there anything else that can be done (either by fed up individuals or the Council) or do we just have to resign ourselves to filthy pavements?
