The East team is based in Porty but dont seem very good. You can contact them easily enough to let them know about problem areas etc;

Noticed an increase around here
Most dog owners I've seen are responsible and pick up after them but there's the odd few that let their dogs run loose
We've had a spaniel coming into our back green, flattening one of my rosemary bushes and chasing cats. I can see no owner around

Mind we've also got foxes around as well

Could there be a correlation or connection between increased number of roadworks and a growth in on street piles of dog poo?- as a general rule I don't believe in coincidences. .

Hmm dont know about dogs
But the Kings Road roundabout scares the sh*t out of me

I am not to blame for any piles of excrement lying around though

Our street has been quite bad recently, don't know who the culprit is though.
It's very annoying when you have a dog yourself and might get blamed for it even though you clean up.

Do you mean bad for roadworks or dog shit?

The latest Environmental Wardens being recruited by CEC will more than likly be seen scooting about the City in mopeds in the next few months. Will be interesting, a rapidly responding warden!

Very small print: The new recuits are required to undertake training in the occupational use of mopeds so it is presumed they will be actually using mopeds.

What makes me laugh is when im at work I always see one particular lady pick up her dogs S**t into a wee bag, and you think thats really good and responsible of her. Then as she walks along the wee path from the car park to the next street she tosses the crap filled bag into someones garden!

Charming eh!

Good Grief
Its hard to imagine someone tossing sh*te about without regards for the consequences.
