Stencil crackdown on dog-fouling (From Your Local Guardian)

• "What are stencils going to do?! They have had these in Beddington Park for ages & it's still full of dogs mess!
  I recently wrote to Sutton Council regarding the amount of fouling in Beddington Park & the surrounding roads, this was after my 1 year old daughter fell in it, & on another occassion brought me her football which was covered in it! The council contacted me by phone & told me that unless I report each piece of mess I come across how do they know it's there?! And apparently the Street Cleaners are supposed to pick up dog poo?! I asked who was doing the fining & they told me sometimes the Community Police might catch someone & fine them. If I know the dog owner I should report them or even pick up the mess myself. Basically they want me to do their job for them. If they are going to crack down on dog fouling they need to do it properly with people patroling & fining, not just a few stencils & maybe on the rare occassion issue a fine!"
