Thank You

These days people are very quick to complain about the slightest thing,,,,I would like to change that publicly, and say a massive THANK YOU to Dave and Elaine Ayling (block 2) for their stirling work yesterday picking up all the dog mess from the grass outside block 2.  I know people have said on here that the wild dogs are responsible,  I beg to differ, those dogs would not be capable of 'passing' such a huge amount.  In my opinion the main culprits are irresponsible dog owners, who either live or holiday on the Village, and when confronted, take great pleasure in either ignoring you or being abusive.

If more people had the same community spirit as Dave and Elaine, then we would all benefit.
 

Well said!!! The sad thing is the offending dog owners will now be laughing, someone else is clearing up after their dogs. I contacted AEA about this and they said they were writing to all the owners - but what about long-term renters??? who is contacting them??

As a dog lover and previous owner I could never ever leave anything my dogs produced - some people have no shame

Down on the coast I have seen signs that imply fines of between 500 to 5,000 Euros for leaving dog mess.

Can the community can adopt and impose similar sanctions somehow?  

Without there being a penalty there will be violators.  It only takes one large dog dropping turds twice a day for a unslightly and dangerous mess to accummulate over one week.  So we need every dog owner to comply.

Personally I would prefer to ban dogs completey as they  bark loudly from the balconies every time someone walks past. But I expect that is too draconian.
