Dog Fouling – Here we go again!

Posted on 21. Jan, 2010 by admin in Community

Here is the return of another old favourite! Same old Shit, just more of it!

Have recieved a number of emails from pissed-off residents over the amount of dog shit being left on the pavements around the estate.

Why don’t you train your dogs to shit in your own living room instead on everyone else’s front door!

Below is one email from Mary Graham who is so angry about this that she is considering taking further steps, and good on her, I hope she catches these people and I hope the all get prosecuted – they have no excuse!

If you can’t be bothered to clean up after your animals then you shouldn’t have them – plain and simple!

Hi,

This is the first time I have submitted an item to the website, and it is out of sheer frustration.   I live on Earlswood Wynd, and I am at the end of my tether with the constant dog fouling outside my house.   It appears to be happening either very late at night or first thing in the morning, so I can only assume someone is letting their dog out on its own.   I have no idea why it is always outside my house, as I am not aware of upsetting anyone on the estate.

I know this was addressed last year, and it did stop for a while.   Unfortunately it is almost a daily occurrence at the moment.   Does anyone have any suggestions, or do I have to install CCTV to catch the culprit which I will do if I have to.

Regards,
Mary Graham

    To be honest, up until recently i hadnt noticed just what an issue dog fouling is in the area. However over the last couple of weeks i have been disgusted just how much there is lying about. I stay in the persimmon houses and went out on a bike ride with my family over past the Robertson and IHA houses. The pathways were covered in it. Also on taking a rare walk up to our fabulous landscaping next to the play at Regalia Park i kid you not when i say that every other step i took up the back path from my home to the park, a pile of merd sat!. There is too much of it lying around to be strays or the odd unoticed accident from an owners dog. I would say to all lazy owners, get a grip and sort it out. If it is above you to lift what your animal leaves behind don’t take them beyond your garden. This is a health hazard and needs addressed. To all responsible owners, this obviously in no way is addressed at you. Like all comments left previoulsy, i doubt that this will have any effect. Its either in you as a person or not to act responsibly. By the way, the fact that this place is covered in dog mess is being talked about beyond the boundaries of Montgomerie Park. Not a nice reputation have i’m sure you’d agree.

    Hi,
    I have got to say over the past couple of weeks I am disgusted with the amount of dog fouling I have witnessed. With the better weather I have been taking my baby out walks in her pram and continually need to “dodge” the dirt!! The main area I have noticed is on the pavements of Earlswood just across from where the show houses used to be. It looks like it is coming from a small dog and it may be possible that a child is taking it for a walk and not cleaning up afterwards. I have also noticed a female, in her 40′s with shoulder length blonde hair every morning between 8.15 and 9.00 walking her golden lab/retriever on the path towards the garage. I have seen the dog doing it’s business on several occasions and her not stopping to clear it up!!! I can see this from my window and cannot believe the cheek of some people!! If anyone knows who she is can you please advise her that she has “been spotted” and my next move is to contact NAC with photographic evidence. Apparantly they can issue fines without having to witness the dog fouling themselves. Maybe it’s time we “name” and “shame” these individuals to help us deal with this issue.

    Rant over for the day.

    Thanks
