They'd rather walk through it for a week and demand "the owner clears this up before I call the police".
It's actually a council issue and when councils had more money some of them would take DNA samples from the poo, so when they caught the dog in action they could prosecute the owner.

You are not allowed to go round doing things to other people's property. She has followed the rules and the council has ignored her, the issue is now on the front of the tabloids so she played a blinder!I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment

Originally posted by d000hg View PostIn the real world, just nip out and do it, don't let the council jobsworths scare you from doing the right thing. Better yet get a few neighbours as a working party. Like clearing the snow from the doorsteps on your street. British people should favour common sense over some of the stupid rules.
And this won't be an isolated area, as I often found out when taking my late wife out in her wheelchair. Councils have a duty of care to all it's residents, but especially the most vulnerable. Dangerous situations like this is why some people become housebound as they are too nervous, or just can't, get very far.
Until you've lived in someone else's shoes, and experienced how difficult it is to get around in a wheelchair or mobility scooter, I suggest you wind your neck in as you have no idea the daily challenges that the disabled face just to attempt to live a normal life.I am what I drink, and I'm a bitter manComment
