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

    • I have had disappointing deliveries from matoom too, it seems better when I've eaten in. Also they do their own deliveries if you order from their website.
    • Hope you all had a happy Christmas & good New Year  Here are your Gardening Tips  for February . Their not too long, but they need doing if you are to have a good garden this year  1. Pruning.  Before the birds need a nest prune your hedges especially the deciduous ones . Important to still prune Roses . Cut back Rose bushes hard to a bud & creating a rounded plant . Prune your trees before the sap rises especially Buddleja Hydrangeas hardy Fuschias Lavatera Bay Leylandii You can cut back Spring flowering tree’s after they have flowered later in Spring  Prune climbing plants like Virginia creeper & Ivy very hard . Remember they will grow back prolifically  You can prune Wisteria twice a year & February is one of them . Cut back the whips (smaller branches) to 3 buds before the main stems . You can prune a few of the thicker stems to give the plant shape & form. Give it a feed if you want it to flower  Cut back any grasses so they can grow in Spring  Prune Jasmines & winter flowering Jasmines. They will reward you with beautiful smelling flowers during Spring & Summer    2 If it ever gets dry again mow your lawn at top height of your mower. Repair patches & trim all borders with a half moon spade . It’s a good time of year to lay new lawns levelling the ground adding sand feed & topsoil    Power wash your patios paths & wooden structures & furniture. You can then give them an appropriate treatment when they have dried out  That’s it for now. I told you it wasn’t too long, Do these if you can, but if you want someone to carry it out for you, I recommend any of the we’ll recommended gardeners on the forum including myself & my colleagues  Please give me a call on :  07759862191. Well done if you managed to read this. Nigel
    • Hello, I’ve got a 1980’s  one if you’re interested it works fine a bit old school 
    • Another recommendation for Greg.  He provided excellent service - fast response, quote and then fitting the job in.  The inbuilt wardrobes he made are of a very high quality and he was a pleasure to work with.  Helped us with some additional shelving and a broken floorboard too.  Highly recommend!
