don't get me started on the dog mess fly, our street is full of the stuff, outside peoples front doors have to more or less treat it like an obstacle course, I complained to the council on a number of occasions but really its down to the dog owners, you have the dog be prepeared to clear up after it.
People would prefer to look the other way when their dogs do the business and then walk away. Irresponsible owners tbh.....I am not tarring them all with the same brush though as I have seen many who pick up after their dog
