Sadly I think, apart from more dog poo bins, the only things that would  deter these selfish people from not cleaning up after their dogs is more CCTV and very large fines.

But that is not going to happen, is it? 

Too expensive to run, and problems with identifying the owners/dog walkers concerned.

Didn't there used to be (grammar) dog licenses? Why were they stopped?

Maybe people should have to pass a dog owning test, a bit like taking a driving test.

It can get pretty bad on our road, drives me mad. As mentioned on the previous thread though, when I've reported any to the council they've been pretty quick at cleaning it up  https://www.southwark.gov.uk/parking-streets-and-transport/street-care/dog-poo

It's great that the council will do this, but it does seem a costly waste of their scarce resources, unless there are factors which I don't know about?

Surely rather than dealing with a few piles of dog poo on request on an as and when basis they need to find some way of addressing the whole problem?

What do other boroughs/countries do?

Have things got worse since COVID, when the dog population seems to have quadrupled round here? Did some people acquire dogs without thinking through the less cuddly aspects of ownership?

Could dogs be trained to use a litter tray and/or bury their own poo, like cats do? 🤣

(That was a joke, btw).

    • I'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.
    • Poundland have been there just over two years. 
    • Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.
    • I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
