I was in my bathroom on CPR and have just seen your dog crapping by the tree outside 236 Crystal Palace Road. You did too, as you bent down to check that your little white and black pooch had indeed done his/her business. You're wearing blue jeans and a black leather coat. You're a smoker. Kindly come back and remove your dog's turds. Thanks.
As a dog owner, I'm also disgusted by the amount of poo on the streets. But I'm equally disturbed when overly suspicious neighbours and passersby stop and watch me to make sure I'm picking up after my dog - which I do, 100% of the time.

KK: About 12.10pm

Nigello: Normally I would - and have - but I was starkers at the time. I wouldn't inflict that on anyone.

magnificentstan: Glad to hear you clean up - thanks - but many others don't.



Just so we're clear, I love dogs and I'm not a curtain-twitcher. Just sick of the amount of turds on the pavements. You feed a dog, play with it, pay its vets bills, take it for walks... so PLEASE clean up after it, too. It takes 5 seconds, plus maybe another minute until you can put the mess in a bin. Not a big ask.

Ha ha.

I pick up for my beast too.

A few weeks ago a woman approached me and told me to pick up 'my' dog's poo. It was somebody else's dog, a big, rough looking geezah who was strolling ahead of his dog. I pointed-out she should go approach the guy and tell him before he gets too far away.

She suddenly lost all interest.

Dumpertruck and others,


The council will spray bright yellow "Bag it and bin it" signs, complete with defecating hound, if you tell them of a recurrent problem. It's not a great help but it's something: 020 7525 2000 and press 1 for "anti-social behaviour" I think.

I am a liberal minded and tolerant person, but the doo poo problem has become so bad that a good solution would to be to put offending humans in the stocks. That would learn them.


Execution, either in public or private, would be even more effective.

It would be far better if they sprayed the owners and dogs in bright yellow.

I posted a little while ago as I was really fed up at the amount of dog fouling in Melbourne Grove. It was happening on a daily basis - and although the council were very good about coming and clearing it up - it was a massive waste of their time and it wasn't sorting out the problem.


After my post on the forum, I was contacted by a member of the local community warden team who were amazing. They got on the case, visited my road and caught the dog in action and fined the man walking the dog. I guess that was about a month ago. It's been dog-mess free until today - so a massive, massive improvement and I am very grateful.


To make an official report to the community warden team, call 0207 525 5846 and they might be able to help. Otherwise, it's a question of filling in the form on the Southwark Council website and they will clear it up.

    • Thanks very much, that's really interesting. I feel better about the shredded paper not being recycled now! And even better that I can get it out of the house and into the green bin! I will save a bit for future composting though  (and homemade seed paper, thanks Peckhamgatecrasher) x
    • Hello. I think we have found him! Sending you a DM with my phone number. 
    • That's fantastic news. Good on him. 
    • I pass here almost every day and have never seen the local business struggle to load. There's plenty of space as things are.    Seems to me this is just the meddling council being ****heads yet again. These are their reasons: "BAWDALE ROAD Goose Green add a total of 35m new 'DYLs' on both sides south-east of its junction with Lordship Lane (22m on the side of No. 157 Lordship Lane, 3m o/s No. 2 Bawdale Road, and 10m opposite No.2 Bawdale Road) to protect access for large vehicles coming to collect from and deliver goods to the nearby businesses"   Consultation here: https://consultation.appyway.com/southwark/order/1c3a8926-8f51-47e1-8460-2727fec6d895
