Oh you are not wrong. SEND children's provision not being made (legally required with EHCP), and yet the council has paid a couple of consultants some very serious money to restructure childrens' services.
They are every bit as good as central gov't on lining the pockets of the already rich.
Anyway, back to dog poo. I complained monthly, sometimes weekly about poo on the pavements on the road next to primary school. Bastard owners just let the dogs go in the morning right where a 120 kids were about to traipse through it, then into classrooms, corridors, the hall for assembly (where children would later be eating lunch). Wonderful community spirit there, I thought.
Have to say, on the odd occasion where I witness a dog poo'ing and it is not picked up, it has always been an impatient middle aged man, pulling the dog along as it poos.
Always fresh at 8.00am when I was dropping DS to nursery/breakfast club.
Coucil response: dog wardens don't start work until 9am.
Arrrrgggggghhh. Can't you put up a camera like they have in wildlife films?
A few fines and name and shame in the papers would be a great deterrant, as it is a crime.
Poo in bags, or left alfresco in the woods for DS to step in also massively anti-social.
I would like a dog, I am not anti-dog. Picking up the poo puts me off even though I have to do the cat tray 2 x a day. Cats specialise in small but highly aromatic poos.
