The mess being left lately by dog walkers lately is becoming a disgusting habit now. Shame on the guilty ones why are you not picking the mess up and why do others have to clean it up for you not fair at all or not nice

I was chatting with neighbours who live in the Sienna Place and Beaumaris Mews seen a few times now myself how bad it has been. Kids, elderly and residents walk a past and live there its bad enough foxes or cats do that which is rare but lately a lot of dog owners walking pass more then before and is noticed.

Even I had to do a obstacle course just to get by and nearly lost my balance!! Same to throwing it in bins in Ballina Street do not leave it have in half out please dispose of this correctly. A neighbour had to collect there bin and how sickly that was!!

I really hate this too. Especially when people collect the mess into bags and just leave the bags lying around. That’s worse than laziness - it’s wilful contempt for the environment.

Here in Tunbridge Wells the council employs wardens to stop people littering, issuing fines of £80. It works pretty well. There’s far less littering here than in SE23.
