Not clearing up after your dog is unpleasant, unsightly and unhygienic.


One dog with an uncaring owner seems to have "the runs" at present and has dumped 5 loads in two days on the corner of Marmora & Scutari.


Please think of your neighbours and, in particular, those walking children and buggies to / from the local schools


I've hosed down the mess and cleared it into the gutter tonight but have failed to spot the offender.

I feel for you and admire you. As a responsible multiple-dog-owner, and hater of poo, I feel your pain. Sadly I think people who think it's ok to let their dogs foul the public walkways, where children walk to school, do not read. (was gonna say 'forums', but think I'll leave it at that).
I've noticed a repeat offender when I walk my child to school. Dog likes to dump a big poo on the grass alongside Goose Green playground, the owner seems to pretend that she hasn't noticed, looks away and chats to other parents. Last week I drew her attention to her dog's mess and she made a half hearted attempt to rummage in her pockets for a bag, though it was obvious that she didn't have one.

If that's the case I apologise for blaming dog owners - however, there remains a problem with the obvious dog crap that is regularly deposited in this area AND not cleared up by dog owners.

Not likely. Fox scat is very, very smelly and usually in small amounts. They also typically use it to mark certain areas. That wouldn't be street corners.

As a vet and fellow dog owner I am shocked and appalled by people not picking up their dog's mess.

It is frankly disgusting to look at and deal with on your shoe but I'd also like to point out the health risks.

One of the most worrying diseases we can catch from dog faeces is Toxocara.

This is a parasite that has been found in up to 33% of dogs.

The eggs can survive under the right conditions FOR YEARS.

One study found viable worm eggs in 66% of London parks.

This parasite can cause blindness and meningitis in children and the immunocompromised (people with HIV and those undergoing chemotherapy).

I imagine that the people that are too lazy to pick up their dog's mess are also too lazy to have their dog regularly dewormed so the risk is even higher.

    • Ah ok, so you’re saying I need to be underneath something like a table when I do the underwriting? That makes sense. Must be why they get paid so much - they’re managing the risks of working in a confined under space. 
    • Our son goes to Dulwich Village Pre School and i can’t recommend more highly. Set surrounded by fields and run by a group of kind, straight forward and competent women. 
    • The TW leak is right outside JAGS at the top of the hill and water was flowing in both directions.  At one point, combined with the thunderstorm on Sunday afternoon, the road under the bridge on Village Way was flooded as it couldn't drain fast enough.  Traffic was turning around rather than risking it. I don't think the lights on the bend are related but could be I guess.
    • I am bowing out of having anything to do with the community notice board issue now. I just went back to the beginning of the thread to read it through again,  because I couldn't remember how the whole discussion started. I then saw that the OP appears to have recently  been right through the thread they started in January and added various emojis to posts, including a quite inappropriate laughing emoji on a post concerning their own editing and/or deletion  of  at least one very nasty post about at least one  other forum member. It seems a bit ironic that that should be on a forum thread they started about an issue supposedly to benefit the community. And  they have also put  "confused" emojis on some of my posts which seem perfectly clear to me. I imagine that  when they read this they will go back and remove the emojis. Hopefully they  now have  enough information from Pugwash about the keys and the location of  unlocked noticeboards to finish their original excellent quest, which apparently started well over a year ago when they began emailing councillors, because I no longer have any inclination to spend more time on it.
