    Shame your local council website is so weak. Why not contact their environmental health department for advice?

    My local council will issue fines for dog-littering and have an email form on their website to report problems.

    But, unfortunately, it is private property and the council probably won't do anything.

    OP do they clean up at all or is it an increasing pile of the...stuff?

    I'm...um...not actually sure :confused:. All I know is that every time I go outside there's stuff there (Tuesday and Wednesdays), but it's not piling up, so assuming it doesn't naturally disappear by rain etc., I guess they are cleaning it up somewhat. I try not to look around though except where I'm going to stand.

    Well on the council's website they claim they'll do what I mentioned earlier for private property. Whether they will do...


    Was about to ask them today but noticed they actually have more than one customer in for once! As much as I like the idea of going in and mentioning a dog, not going to put fuel onto the fire quite yet :p

    Lol OP your garden-side manner is making me chuckle. Are you a real doctor?
    Opinion, advice and information are different things. Don't be surprised if you receive all 3 in response. :D
