Hi all,
Does anybody have any ideas about what can be done about the amount of dogs mess on the pavements in this area. I recently moved to Forest Hill (May 2011) I lived in Balham previously, which is in the London Borough of Wandsworth. It was like a culture shock when I moved to this area and started seeing dogs mess almost everywhere on every street. There was nothing like that in Balham as Wandsworth had a very good dog patrol, which meant the street were free of dogs mess. I find it very distressing, especially when it happens right outside of my front gate. Of course you'll never catch the dog or its owner. I've seen pictures of dogs drawn on street corners and from what I understand this is where the dogs are supposed to do their poo and then have it cleaned up by their owner. This is totally ineffective. This is the one thing that spoils my enjoyment of an otherwise lovely area. What does anyone else think?
