The Crimean Quadrant (Marmora, Therapia, Scutari & Mundania) is currently plagued by a dog walker & dog that do not observe the accepted courtesies of owning a dog - leaving piles of dog c*** along the pavements of all four roads.


This has all occurred in the last three months - so believe it is someone that has moved in recently, not a long term resident of the area.


I've watched and lurked and eyeballed at different times of day and night but still failed to identify the recalcitrant owner or dog. Others are also on the lookout. The council is aware of the problem but extra signs and "bag it & bin it" pavement stencils have had no effect - what else can be done?

Marmora Man, I used to live on Marmora road too (moved out in '06). There was a guy in his fifties/sixties with a Jack Russell (always yapping) and he used to let it crap everywhere, I know this as I have a dog and used to see him do it all the time when out walking with mine. He never took it to the park, just used to walk it locally, probably why the surrounding streets are full of his poo. Not saying that it's him but it's a possibility - you probably know exactly who this character is anyway!

yes we too have some lovely piles on our doorstep....from the size of it I don't think it can be a jack russell-but whatever it is it eats sweetcorn-ugh!

We had a similar problem on our neighbourhood pavements. After many frustrating attempts at trying to apprehend the nasty owner and canine partner in crime, someone suggested going to poochy-poop-match.com. You simply take a picture of the fresh steaming dog turd, type in the characteristics (weight, shape and colour) and it gives you 3 possible breed matches including size and age. We were able to find the perpetrator within 24 hours and rub his nose in it. poochy-poop-match.com

I'll do some wandering around that time too - see what I can see.

I have a dog and I get quite incensed when I see dog waste everywhere - please note this small irresponsible minority who let their dogs cr*p everywhere would hit the roof if they stepped in someone elses...


Anyway, this may sound bizarre but what the hell, get some chalk and the next time you see it, chalk around the offending turds and write, CLEAN THIS UP! on the pavement. It may be just enough to shock and embarrass the person...


Admittedly people might think you're a bit odd but something needs to be done!

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
