Dulwichresident23 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 I must say Dulwich is the worse borough I’ve seen for dog mess. Literally everywhere I step it’s dog poo! There is a lot of children/kids in this area god forbid they fell in it. Fix up dog owners!! 1 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/358507-dog-poop-in-dulwich/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
SalmonKing Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Amen ✊ I stand in solidarity with you. This is absolute nonsense. We gotta call out these people when we see them.

Sue Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 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. 1 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/358507-dog-poop-in-dulwich/#findComment-1699565 Share on other sites More sharing options...
se22 Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Dog licenses were abolished in 1987. Before Britain changed to decimal currency they cost 7 shillings and 6 pence which became 37p. They were scrapped as they were unenforceable and cost more to collect than they raised.

Angelina Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Welcome to Dulwich. These are your neighbours. They don't here from surrounding areas just so their dogs can go to the toilet.

jemmaLJD Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 It's so frustrating and disgusting isn't it 😤 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/358507-dog-poop-in-dulwich/#findComment-1699610 Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristen Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 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 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/358507-dog-poop-in-dulwich/#findComment-1699613 Share on other sites More sharing options...

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).

gbal30 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Nothing better on a sunny Sunday afternoon than seeing two giant buckets of dog excrement just dumped on Forester Road. Some people are just the lowest kind of human. Will report this to the council today. It’s just sad.
