Dear All


I have noticed a reoccurring problem of HUGE dog sh*t all over the pavement on the corner of Elsie Road and Grove Vale. I have seen the culprit, a man with a giant, slow dog- I'm afraid that's the best description I can give!


This morning I witnessed children on their way to school slipping in it- and it really isn't a pleasant thing for me to see as soon as I leave the house each morning.


It is quite disgusting, happens regularly and I worry that this dog needs to see a vet judging by the amount and distance it is able to cover in one defecation.


If anybody knows the owner please could they kindly request that he takes the dog somewhere else to go to the toilet, or even better just bags it and bins it.


I wish him and his dog no harm, only ask that he does his bit to keep our streets clean.


Thanks!

I think it must have been the same man/dog in North Cross Road early one morning a few weeks ago.

One would have needed a shovel to pick it up, and a supermarket carrier bag to contain it!

Luckily there was a man inside Pretty Traditional, getting the place ready, so he was able to fill a bucket with hot water and flush it away into the gutter (actually, it took two bucketfuls).


Perhaps posting about it on the forum might lead to the man being identified, and made aware of the the nuisance he is causing.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
