I write to appeal to the owner of a very large dog who poos on the lower grass area adjacent to the water on the Barrage. I walk my dog daily and am met every day with a large deposit of dog poo in almost an identical place every day.

This is most inconsiderate of the owner and spoils the look for the hundreds of people who enjoy walking along the water’s edge to the Scott Memorial. During half term there were a lot of children playing in the area and the health risk to them coming in contact with the poo is considerable.

I have spoken to a number of dog walkers who are very concerned over this and are all keeping a look out for this dog owner and we intend to report the owner to the authorities and trust a charge will follow and payment of the £75 fine!!!

Please owner, pick up your dog poo.

Yours in hope
