Dog poo on Dunstans Road

[MrsP]

The dog poo on Dunstans Road, particularly the stretch between Crebor Street and Goodrich Road, is getting really bad. We have run the dog poo gaunlet on the way to school every day this week, and quite frankly this morning it is disgusting. Please please if you are out walking your dog pick up the poo.

Go to my legendary thread of earlier this year about what to do about it....there's a link there to get in touch with the council to clear up the mess. They can also leaflet and monitor. It certainly worked round our neck of Dulwich.

If all this fails, then a zero tolerance campaign must begin with extreme prejudice.

Mrs P,

The only way to deal with it is to either collar the person who is responsible, or contact the council's environment line and request that the pavement be sprayed with 'bag it and bin it' signs. 7525 5000.

Took my dog for a walk down Dunstans Road to the Rye today and I have to say there was a LOT of poo. Gross! I always pick up after my dog, no idea why others don't. Seriously though, someone must be walking a pretty huge dog down there. Shovel and bin bag needed for some of those piles!

MrsP,

I've reported the problem and would expect action alnog lines TonyQuinn has outlined.

if it doesn't improve please let me know.

btw council environment line is 020 7525 2000 - 020 7525 5000 is the general switch board for the council.

[MrsP]

Thank you very much Mr Barber, will monitor the dog poo levels and let you know if there is no improvement.

I have 2 dogs and always pick up after them, If you own a dog, then you should pick up after it, lazy gits, good luck, hope it stops.

having moved from Cateford SE6 to ED SE22 recently we are very surprised at the lack of action here to clean up dog poo - it should become a zero tolerance zone - come on the local Dog Owners, Residents & Councillors!!!

[James Barber]

Council officers have assured me that extra patrols on Dunstans Road will now take place and anti dog poo stencilling of the pavement will be put in.

I think this has a lot to do with the direct route from Dunstans to Peckham Rye Park. I live in neigbouring Ryedale and have the same problem! I spend far too much time picking up dog poo for selfish owners.

Perhaps we can convince our local councillors to run a campaign with greater dog poo bins etc.?

No, what we need to do, and excuse for being harsh is to make life as difficult as possible for dog owners. Zero tolerance with extreme prejudice......

Dog excrement is a real serious problem, although it might be rare I've heard of some children being blinded. Most dog owners, I imagine, are OK but the ones who don't give a sh*t (pun intended)penalties should be harsh. I must confess I've noticed quite a lot of it near Piermont Green. unfortunately, who enforces the law? It isn't easy to prove, because dog owners who let their dogs do it are probably not going to take kindly to a citizens arrest. An on-the-spot, heavy fine would be great.

[Mr&MrsJ]

I called the council about this issue about 3 months ago (after skidding on a rather large pile en route to Goodrich School). We have renamed the road Turd Street but it isn't funny and I agree with further action being needed. Traffic Enforecement are quick enough to put tickets on your car should you park naughtily around the school so let's get fines sorted for doggy doo too!

I saw some very new-looking Bag It and Bin It signs on Dunstan's Rd yesterday.

[huncamunca]

Was it white ?
