dog fouling survey

[jim_the_chin]

Today must be about the third time this year that I've had to mount an hour-long clean up operation after one of the family stepped in dog shit - this time it was walked into the car and got on clothing too, leaving me washing clothes and scrubbing out the car. And that's before I get to move on to picking crap out of the tread of a trainer with a toothbrush.

Is 3 a year about average in ED or am I just a really lucky fella?

I agree, there's nothing worse than treading on a hound cable. Should rub the owners face in it.

If you ring the council, they will come and spray the ground with anti-fouling signs. It's not the same as catching someone, b ut at least you are doing something. They also will remove dog dirt, or that's the claim. 020 7525 2000. Please get them to spray the signs near where you are. The more the owners' see it, the more they are aware of their unsocial behaviour.

[Keef]

Toothbrush? That's an expensive solution, I've always used cotton buds. Fortunately not for ages though!

HonaloochieB,

Seriously? It's because dogs are fed on crap pet food rather than raw meaty bones of yore. The white, crumbly stuff is directly related to bone ingestion.

I suspect not.

In times of old the shuffling masses wandered around aimlessly whilst gazing at their feet.

They had no jobs, no future, no hope; but they did avoid stepping in dog shit.

[EDmummy]

My neck gets sore whilst walking because of the constant look out for dog poo!

[jimbo1964]

Got home last night after a weekend away to find a big pile of dog crap right outside my front gate. It makes me so angry. Goodrich road seems particularly bad.

[fractionater]

put chilli powder on the spot where the offending poop is!

[catgirl]

jimbo goodrich road is awful! There must be someone who lives there who just lets their dog out to poo on the pavement I reckon. Particularly poor behaviour as there is a school there so loads of children walking up and down the road twice a day.

[Bryan Cocksedge]

Goodrich is terrible roughly 20 yards either side of The Stables

[Strawbs]

We have a problem with cat poop in our street, so often we find cat sh*te right on our doorstep practically.. I often see cats out and about in our road but feck knows whey they all seem to crap at my place..

[catgirl]

What's 'The Stables'?

[sweetgirl]

dulwich itself has a major poo problem, someone had the cheek to wipe the poo off their shoe & scraping it onto my steps!!!

i got kids runnin in & out most times, they're not likely to look out for shite!!! i might just ring up the council to get them to spray one of their signs near my house.....

[TillieTrotter]

I haven't had this problem for years. Last week walking to East Dulwich station with my son he was appalled to see lots of dog turd on the pavement. I remember it being much worse in the Good Old Days.

[Michael Palaeologus]

You are right Tillie, the quality of dog turdage has improved over the years. I put it down to canines being fed better food which makes firmer, more aesthetically pleasing doo-doos.

we need to report the dog fouling incidences here:

http://www.southwark.gov.uk/YourServices/environment/AnimalWelfare/dogfouling.html

hopefully, they'll get it cleaned up. Or, we could resurrect Roger Cook to trackdown the foulers!
