We need to address these irresponsible dog owners who continue to leave their dogs Feaces on the pavements! I was particularly shocked to see a large one outside Gumboots nursery this week. It has to be stopped!

it takes two minutes to clean up your dogs crap!
 

I have the email for Southwark who come out and clean within 24 hours if anyone would like the emails:

Why don’t you done a pair of gloves, grab a poo bag and just pick it up..and before you get on your high horse, you really expect Council to come and clear it up? 

Why doesn’t nursery to something ….. should have picked it up is outside nursery. Perhaps was a one off….

Much better to spend their limited funds on sweeping leaves to prevent people slipping.

Whilst I completely agree with the first part of your post, I think it's a terrible waste of council workers' time (and our council tax money) to be coming out to clear up individual instances of dog crap.

I don't know what the answer is. I don't know why there don't seem to be dog crap bins any more, but even if there were I doubt if these dog owners would use them if they aren't picking up the crap in the first place.

I can't remember why dog licences were scrapped? If memory serves they used to be seven and six in old money. Maybe it wasn't cost effective to run the system, but maybe it would be if they cost a lot more.

I think dog training should be mandatory as well. I think a lot of people acquired dogs during Covid who maybe hadn't had one before, as the number of dogs around ED seemed to greatly increase around then.

On the other hand, I do think most dog owners train their dogs and pick up after them. Unfortunately it's those who don't who we notice.

    • I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.  
    • Great Service again from Andy.  Contacted him with a couple of issues with toilet cistern and shower.  He came over and sorted it all out quickly. Good advice given, reasonable charge for the jobs.  Highly recommend Andy!   
    • Just seen this.  Your post was a bit unnecessary.  I was simply responding to the previous post that children should be cycling on the pavement. But as you say I know shed loads about transport.  Not to the depths that some go down to the minutia.  Some call me the space cowboy.  Some call me the gangster of love.  I think of myself as the people's poet.  You have to laugh at yourself. Echoing what DKH said, we weren't there, you don't know the parent was making a snide remark, My favourite Dulwich parent story was a few years ago were friends when we were in the Herne garden a few years ago, who let their children run riot.  Bless.  One decided to turn the hose on spraying some poor drinkers.  Now most of us would be mortified, but the friends welcomed their child's creativity.
