Hi,

I live on CPR and have been walking along it earlier than usual recently (my 4 year old has just started school).


Perhaps it is the timing of our new walks but almost every other day either pushchair (for newborn), scooter, small feet or my own larger feet are finding dog poo often too late to avoid it.


PLEASE PICK UP AFTER YOUR DOGS. I CLEAN ENOUGH SHIT AT HOME.

I'm going to ask Southwark council to have a look at this scheme recently adopted in canterbury:

If dog owners were encouraged to carry poo bags then they might even bother to use them. If not there would be more resources for the council to pay for a street cleaner...

I'd be interested to know how may offenders Southwark have prosecuted under the existing legislation. My guess would be none, or close to none.


I appreciate resources are stretched, but if they had a two-day purge on this once every couple of months, a few fines issued and publicised might go some way to changing the behavior of the small majority of dog-owners in question.

Here Here KK and it should be extended to cats

They shouldn't have a dog then.


For many people (particularly the lonely elderly) a pet can provide real therapeutic benefits. However these can be provided by a ferret (domestic, not a pole cat) just as much as they can be by a dog. Ferrets will rush to greet their owners and are the only pet, I believe, which will actually stroke their owner. They need less exercise, are less costly to feed, and their excreta are far less bulky and noisome (male ferrets do have a particular smell, associated with scent glands, so female ferrets are a better option). If you require a pet, particularly in the city, perhaps you should look for something more city-living friendly.

Just been for a two-and-a-half hour walk - through the village, Love Walk, Belair, beside the railway line to Sydenham Hill station, Dulwich Woods and the nature reserve, Cox's Walk, Fireman's Alley, Dulwich Park - and didn't see one pile of dog mess. Massive improvement.


Good work, people of Dulwich.

Massive dog turd outside my front gate on Thursday evening, from a very big dog, laid between 8.15-8.30pm.

Luckily I didn't step on it as I left to walk my dog and luckily I had bags to pick it up and then washed the pavement.

Could have carpeted my hallway with it there was so much.

I swear the person I see intentionally allowing their dog to do this will be wearing the shit down their shirt.

No. Fecking. Excuse.

    • Chiming in to recommend the Canacabins team, who did a beautiful job completely rebuilding a well-loved (but falling down) shed into a new garden office. While they were at it, they also constructed a new pond surround, deck, railing, and patched up our decrepit fence, all to a high standard. A friendly team and very happy with the end result!
    • There isn’t a map for the Go Jauntly walk - I added that.  I plan to update it now the weather is getting warmer but haven’t yet. Part of the reason for adding it was that I couldn’t find a map.    Not going to help but Dulwich Festival will be doing a walk so might be worth asking them.   
    • An idea if you are looking for something to do. I’ve visited and have just come across this again.    Vauxhall City Farm is a farm in London where we can see the animals the packaged meat in the supermarket comes from. Entrance is free, a donation of £4 is requested   Looking for a present you can adopt an animal - support the farm and the person you gift it to will get 3 lots of food to feed on visits.    The 50th Anniversary Appeal is currently running so they can do the farm up and hopefully give the animals a home and people the chance to see them for another 50 years. If you want to donate here’s the link    https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/growthenext50years
    • Let's wait and see how many affordable family homes and social housing actually get built.
