anyone got a badminton raquet to sell

Hi,
         We have just returned from Spain, very shocked at the amount of dog sh*t all over. I collected 21 seperate deposits from out side blocks 4, 5, 6 and the footpath towards the appartments. I have to say we saw many dog walkers passing with bags in hand so as with most problems it just  takes one to spoil things for everyone else!! (We are dog owners in the UK and own a west highland terrier). I could see when collecting the mess left around it looked like it was being made by a smaller dog than ours. This was all confirmed when my wife witnessed a 12,13 year old girl walking a Yorkshire terrier who allowed the dog to just poo in the middle of the walk way,she then walked towards the enterance and into to the appartment block grounds. She said she looked English and was wearing glasses. We want the community to make policy on this. These people should be named shamed and then fined. It is not just unpleasant to look at, when I removed one pile close to block 4 half a dozen cockroaches ran off into the pavement gaps NOT NICE!

Again to the resposible dog walkers sorry to go on but I know you will be as annoyed as we are at what is happening to the footpaths in our town, please please lets not put up with this filthy behavior and find out who these offenders are and do somthing about it. 

All comments/resposes  are invited even if it is to say how you feel on the problem

Totally agree with you. Disgusting.

Haven't been over yet (plan on doing so very soon) but that is really off-putting, not to mention a health risk in areas where kids play.

I agree that something has to be done about it. Its not enough to expect individuals to chin people about this (as in a country where this isn't actually law, they would have a right to tell you to bugger off). Something should be done at the community level.

This is my pet hate (excuse the pun).  Please, dog owners,  be responsible and considerate.  It surely can't be too difficult.
