Dog mess is real nuisance and apart from being an unpleasant sight it can be a real health hazard. Dog mess can make people very ill, especially children who play on grass and reguarly fall over, for example Toxocariasis, caused by roundworms in dogs and other canine diseases can be fatal.

I am amazed at the dog dirt there is just everywhere you go. Don't dog owners have any idea of the harm this can do to children if they catch the virus left in the excrement? They can go blind.

Why are people not made to pick it up and have bins available for this? I have travelled the world and never seen so much shit in one city, one lovely city. Is there anyone else who cares about this out there?

How simple is it to take out a bag with you on a walk and place the dirt in this and then into a bin!

Why aren't dog owners proud of where they live? Why don't they want to keep it nice for everyone?

People should be aware that Toxocara can stay in the ground for up to three years after the dog/cat has fouled. Apart from all of that, it is so nice to be able to walk freely without stepping between dog dirt and looking down at the ground.

I am sure it is an offence under European environmental health laws to allow your dog to foul in public places and not clean up.

Don't let your best friend spoil our streets - clear up after your dog. Not doing so can lead to a £50 fine.
