Pee and loo paper (and worse) in Peckham Rye

[amlh]

I' m so fed up with people leaving loo paper in the park. Small children run all over the place, and we constantly see other people's disgusting loo paper, hundreds of pieces every time.

Surely if someone needs to poo in the park, they ball it up, or bag it up, and take the loo paper home? If they find that disgusting, then why should anyone else find it less disgusting just dropped casually inside a children's den?

Feeling so annoyed that people think this is ok to do just because the loos are closed.

I get that people have to go in the park. But surely they do not have to leave loo paper for us to prise out of our toddler's curious hands.

unfortunately when people were told they could travel they did- that means that people are coming from far and wide to other peoples' locales. Then those people have to travel to fing a less crowded open space...no toilets are open and people are selfish.

I saw one chap at the Horniman the other week head to the bushes clutching a dog poo bag (but no dog). Still not great but definitely better than just leaving behind.

Open public toilets I say

The lack of places for a wee has somewhat limited our plans for outdoor socialising. However who are these people who can't be outside for a few hours without the need for a poo?

[KidKruger]

I think the poo thing is people taking advantage of the scarcity of wardens/park staff around (and perhaps reduced park-goer numbers).

If you'd get caught short now, you would have done previously, most people don't want to use the park loos for number twos even when they're open. Everyone knows how to / is used to avoiding need for number two action when out at a park.

[Cyclemonkey]

Well quite. So are these bush poo-ers people who just like al fresco pooing? I can't imagine people in local parks are that far from home and if you have an upset tummy it's probably best not to go out at the moment.

I always assumed some people are banned from using their own bathrooms :)

Could be young kids. Mine have been known to suddenly decide that they need to go RIGHT NOW!

When you read that people have travelled from London to Wales (because they thought they could but got turned back) then they will be the people who will be excreting all over the place

I do agree, the odd person may get caught short but for there to be loads about is revolting and a health hazard. I have also seen loads of discarded gloves and masks, broken glass (even more than usual) and last but not least, baby nappies full of poo discarded in the street. Take a bag and dispose at home or in the nearest bin. Extraordinary.

The crap-filled nappy that is dumped from a car onto the pavement I have witnessed - and successfully challenged on one occasion. It?s horrible but a reality, albeit a rare one.

[Cyclemonkey]

We once had tenants in our block of flats who were leaving used nappies in the communal gardens. Whem challenged about their behaviour they said they did not know they could put them in the bin. So the garden was a reasonable alternative???

[amlh]

I think that's massively considerate of him - I wish everyone would do this!

[amlh]

totally - but I bet you don't leave their loo paper there

[amlh]

Totally, mine too - but I bet you don't leave their loo paper there

[snoopy17]

who goes to the park with toilet paper? fair enough if it's a toddler , but a grown adult should know better, I don't believe it is people who has problems with their bowels because they wouldn't go far from home.

[KidKruger]

It's probably tissue paper, which most people have / access to when out and about.

shitting in the park is perfectly normal i'll have you know, when you've gotta go you've gotta go
