I do not live in the Marmora catchment area but did have the same problem about two years ago. Someone repeatedly allowing their dog to foul practically outside the gate, Myself, my children, husband, bikes were all victims. I eventually rang the council who told me that there was a dedicated pooper scooper number which I rang everytime the poo arrived. They dutifully came and scooped ....the problem miraculously disappeared after a concentrated three week campaign. Ring the council and ask if this service still exists. I fortunately have not had the problem since. But then I live in Nunhead!

I live on a path the leads a few yards off the main road to my gate. Last summer there was a guy who would walk his dog down off the main road onto my path almost every morning to let it relieve itself. He probably thought this was better than letting it foul the main pavement but as it was outside my garden gate I was not too pleased. So what I did was just go out one morning and stand at the gate. As he came down I gave him a smile and a nod and stood watching him. He looked uncomfortable for few moments and then buggered off. I haven?t seen him since.

Having said that I went out this morning and there was an unspeakable pile heap next to the bins. I may give this poo hotline that the council have a call.

Sing to the tune of Ghostbusters:

If there's somethin' brown in your neighborhood

Who ya gonna call (Poobusters)

If it's somethin' that, looks like a Walnut Whip

Who ya gonna call (Poobusters)

I ain't afraid a no shite

I ain't afraid a no turds

If you're steppin' on poo, on Marmora Road,

Who can you call (Poobusters)

Ruined yer shoes on Rover's load,

Oh who ya gonna call (Poobusters)

I ain't afraid a no shite

I ain't afraid a no turds

"Ruined yer shoes on Rover's load". Brilliant!

Good lord, what a job. I'll bookmark that and return to look at it any time I feel disenchanted with my work.

I know Ant - far too much time on my hands but it's Lozzy Lol's fault for the Poobuster link!!:))

Possible / probable offender - male - 30's, black hair with black Labrador. Spotted (not by me) allowing dog to foul on corner of Therapia & Scutari. Anyone have anymore clues? Once identified I can ask him to "do the right thing".
