Yet again I have had to swerve my buggy to avoid a huge load of dog excrement on Gabriel street.Walks along Garthorne and the surrounding streets are like running the gauntlet at times. Certain irresponsible dog owners feel its ok to allow their dog to defecate wherever they like with no thought as to how it affects other people. There are lots of mothers like myself in the area who don't want expose young babies to the diseases contained in dog faeces but at times it can be hard to avoid particularly if you get it on the buggy wheels which are then brought into the house. There are a couple of issues here. By way of reminder It is an offence to allow dogs to foul in public places. See link below

The problem is the lack of signs and bins to deposit the mess. People are more inclined to let the dog foul on the street rather than clean it up and carry it home.
My neighbour even caught an individual trying to deposit this in his wheels bin!!

I have contacted the council regarding getting the above in place but nothing has been done so far. I would really urge people to start voicing their concerns regarding above so we can get something done.

Dog faeces is disgusting and a health hazard and should be cleaned up accordingly. Please show consideration for other people.
