Goose Green - Fence to be removed

[Mark]

A series of flag the poo activities will be taking place over the next 6 months at least as part of the monitoring linked to the fence removal trial period, organised by the Parks people at the council.

I saw the poo flaging at the weekend...very exciting. Even with the flags, my 16 mnth old managed to find an 'unflagged' poo-Brilliant! I also saw the poo sucking on my way back, and wondered if there was room in the tank for lazy dog owners....mmm!?

Not part of the council but Goose Green is my friend.

Wow, there really is a 5 page thread about a fence!

I thought I'd imagined it.

I don't really go near GG, but to offer an opinion, I would say give the dogs the larger share of the green, as they want to run around a lot more than your average child.

As for the fence, I doubt any fence will make a lot of difference. People that break rules will break rules regardless.

Phew, and I thought I was the only one dreaming of 5 pages of fence.

5 pages on a fence because we don't want the fence taken down, we want it to be a child-friendly zone and we want dogs to only be allowed to poo on the other side.

I cant beleive that given how much poo is apparently being excreted/deposited in the park that any dog still needs to poo all the way down Adys road but regular as clockwork, there is dodge the poo style dancing all the way to school (st johns and St Clements). A hot spot seems to be right where the crossing lady has to stand which means she has had to become dual purpose helps children negotiate the road safely as well as walking the pavement without the added excitement of skidding in poo. Are dog owners in the area especially inadequate at cleaning up or is this part of an on going protest relating to the fence and a dog's right to poo where it wants ?
