There are some bins in the park specifically for dog poo with lids you have to lift. I never use them because the idea of touching the lids makes me want to hurl. 

Super easy to use the end of one's poo bag to lift the lid, and then you can just drop it in by letting lid and bag go! That's my method, anyway!

Bit of advice. If you see someone letting their dog shit on the pavement, dont do the righteous middle class thing and tell them to pick it up, then boast about it to your chums at the next dinner party. 

Its far better to follow them home, at a distance, and take note of where they live. Later that night, go back to the address and leave some poo (a dogs or yours) all over thier doorstep. You can add a note too about cleaning up after their dog if you so wish.

Council come and clean up next day if you report fog mess. Brilliant 

But as noted before on other threads, and in fact also on this thread as I just looked back,  surely  it isn't the best use of council workers' time to come and clean up every time somebody reports dog mess?

If everybody reported every incident, the workers would be constantly going backwards and forwards. There is dog mess everywhere round here.

Plus it's not exactly an incentive to the people leaving the mess, if they know someone else will come and clear it up.

It just adds to our council tax bills. There must be better ways of addressing the problem, like more dog mess bins.

Then the workers presently responding to one off requests to remove one off piles of s**t could be more usefully employed in emptying those bins.

I do understand that the people with these incontinent dogs probably wouldn't use the bins anyway.

What do other boroughs do? What do other countries do?

    • They haven't said it's because of "lack of money", they have said it's "uneconomical to repair", which is quite different! If they had spent a lot of money repairing it, some people would be complaining about that!  I assume (and it's just an assumption, as obviously I am not privy to their thought processes) that they have decided that  the amount of money necessary to repair it would be better put towards a completely new bridge. The money spent on the  refurbishment of the Dulwich Village junction is irrelevant, surely?  I don't know how council budgets are worked out, but surely these two budgets must be completely separate pots of money, and they  can't take money from one pot and put it in the other pot ? (sorry, I don't mean to sound as if I'm explaining this to a three year old). Well, we don't know that without knowing all the details, do we? That's a very big assumption/accusation. Though I agree that on the face of it, it doesn't look good if the bridge has become unfit for purpose in such a short time.
    • Whoever authorised the building and the spending of all that money is clearly not capable of doing their job.

    • Niko came to the house this afternoon at quite short notice, to replace a pair of knackered tap cartridges - the units containing the on/off flow valves. The hard water gets to them. Which he did in a few minutes, before - at his own insistence - there and then sorting out two other plumbing problems: another pair of failing tap cartridges, and the seriously clogged-up drainage away from my kitchen sink and washing machine. Expert, brisk, thorough, generous - in a word, professional. And his charge for all this (parts, labour, time) was extremely reasonable. He is a master plumber and a nice guy. Niko clearly deserves all the commendation he receives. He is at 07818-607-583. Lee Scoresby
