Hi,

I live on CPR and have been walking along it earlier than usual recently (my 4 year old has just started school).


Perhaps it is the timing of our new walks but almost every other day either pushchair (for newborn), scooter, small feet or my own larger feet are finding dog poo often too late to avoid it.


PLEASE PICK UP AFTER YOUR DOGS. I CLEAN ENOUGH SHIT AT HOME.

I'm going to ask Southwark council to have a look at this scheme recently adopted in canterbury:

If dog owners were encouraged to carry poo bags then they might even bother to use them. If not there would be more resources for the council to pay for a street cleaner...

I'd be interested to know how may offenders Southwark have prosecuted under the existing legislation. My guess would be none, or close to none.


I appreciate resources are stretched, but if they had a two-day purge on this once every couple of months, a few fines issued and publicised might go some way to changing the behavior of the small majority of dog-owners in question.

Here Here KK and it should be extended to cats

They shouldn't have a dog then.


For many people (particularly the lonely elderly) a pet can provide real therapeutic benefits. However these can be provided by a ferret (domestic, not a pole cat) just as much as they can be by a dog. Ferrets will rush to greet their owners and are the only pet, I believe, which will actually stroke their owner. They need less exercise, are less costly to feed, and their excreta are far less bulky and noisome (male ferrets do have a particular smell, associated with scent glands, so female ferrets are a better option). If you require a pet, particularly in the city, perhaps you should look for something more city-living friendly.

Just been for a two-and-a-half hour walk - through the village, Love Walk, Belair, beside the railway line to Sydenham Hill station, Dulwich Woods and the nature reserve, Cox's Walk, Fireman's Alley, Dulwich Park - and didn't see one pile of dog mess. Massive improvement.


Good work, people of Dulwich.

Massive dog turd outside my front gate on Thursday evening, from a very big dog, laid between 8.15-8.30pm.

Luckily I didn't step on it as I left to walk my dog and luckily I had bags to pick it up and then washed the pavement.

Could have carpeted my hallway with it there was so much.

I swear the person I see intentionally allowing their dog to do this will be wearing the shit down their shirt.

No. Fecking. Excuse.

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
