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.

    • I thought the most they sell in terms of hot food at londis is like pastries and sausage rolls and for hot drinks its like costa coffee but its always a convenience store. Doesn’t look too bad in my opinion considering that shop has been closed down ever since i moved here
    • Hi Busterb, Yesterday I turned up with a scanner & towels, hoping to take a deceased tabby down to TNV. The body was moved moments before arrival & had not been turned in to any vets, rescues or animal hospitals. I am wondering if this could have been the same cat & if someone just tried to move the tabby further away from the road. Please be warned, viewers discretion is advised. but this is what the deceased tabby looked like: https://www.facebook.com/groups/900015513463302/permalink/3729980853800073/  In any case, if you haven't been able to get someone to scan or take down to a vet, I can scan tomorrow morning.
    • Wholeheartedly recommend Aria. He was polite, responsive and sorted our leak, from an old tap on an old plumbing system, with no bother and on same day.
