Overhill Road has been particularly bad recently. I'm wondering about spraying said mess in fluorescent paint but I'll probably get done for graffiti-ing! I've also found that foxes tend to be quite particular and comical about where they crap - I've seen the mess on discarded crisp packets, road work signs, on a leaf...! The current stencils have lost all impact and probably never stopped people who always have no intention of clearing up after their dogs.

Hello - yes I started a thread a couple of months back about Melbourne Grove. The local community warden got in touch and caught and fined the dog owner I think was responsible for a lot of the problem. My end of the street has been largely free ever since but I think the owner has simply varied his route as I spotted a notice in the window of a house further along Melbourne Grove about dog fouling.

I was peering at the notice when the householder came out and spoke to me and the dog owner they thought was responsible sounded very like 'my' dog owner and the sudden increase in fouling coincided with the chap getting fined near my house. I think it's very hard to change entrenched behaviour even when someone is fined.

The entrenched behaviour issue is a component of many types of anti-social behaviour. Perhaps other penalties should be considered for proven, unreformed serial offenders. The problem with this is policing and catching people doing wrong, and then it also becomes about best use of resources.

The poo is a pain, we all hate it, but I just wanted to make the point again that just one bloody-minded and irresponsible individual can create the illusion that an area has an epidemic of bad dog owners.

Hi,

Latest update on this subject - this time in Camberwell Old Cemetery this morning.

Walking along Wood Vale, I saw a young women standing on the path and letting a medium-sized dog loose for a run around the graves. She obviously did'nt want to get her feet wet on the grass. After a while, sure enough, the dog 'did it's business' next to one of the graves, chased some birds around, then went back to it's owner, who put it on the lead and went off home. Absolutely true; I was too far away to go over and have word with her, but it would have been too threatening for her, probably.

How disrespectful can you get! I expect that someone will tread in it when they visit their relatives grave this Christmas!

Season Greetings to all.
