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.

The question which poses itself is, is this a brand new troll or an existing troll in a new hat?

I think the latter, as there is a certain familiarity about the way the posts are written  .....

Council address for reporting very useful

Seriously? Just use a clean bag to lift the lid

[Ruffler]

Just my observation in Dulwich park, people staring at phones seem to pay only cursory attention to their dogs and are mostly oblivious to what they leave behind.

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?

Well at least it's better than leaving the poo on the pavement.

Not if someone wheels over it with a pram or a heavy footed person steps on it and it hasn't been tied up or is tied but explodes everywhere. Yuk!

Agree we definitely need dog poo bins back again, particularly near Peckham Rye park, along Crystal Palace Road, and by Goose Green.

Has that ever actually happened?

The bags are quite bright, and don't blend in with the pavement, so are quite noticeable.

But surely there can't be many  cases where someone has bothered to put the s**t in a bag,  but then just leaves the bag on the pavement?
