Dog fouling problems
I organised for a group of parents to directly raise with the council their concerns over dog fouling problems in the roads leading up to Somerhill School. They are rightly angry at the level of unchecked dog fouling. In two roads we found six examples - and this was a good day. The officers were helpful in addressing the issue, but clearly it is a resource-led problem as there aren't enough staff to enforce and check these areas on a daily basis. Only 3 on the spot fines have been issued in the recent past - that really is poor. This problem is easily dismissed but actually is one of the big quality of life issues for local people.

Providing dispensers for dog mess bags around the city would be a great move.
Then dog owners have no excuses!
