OSCOTT OPEN SPACES ARE BECOMING COVERED IN DOG MESS


Some bins like the one at the entrance to the Queslett Nature Reserve need to be emptied more often and I have now been assured this will happen.





Dog mess on our open spaces is becoming a real nuisance. Having walked on the Burford Road playing Field, the Glenmead playing Field, the King George Playing Field, the Aldridge Recreation Ground and the Queslett Nature Reserve recently, one thing I found in common was the problems of dog mess. The entrances and grass areas are all have a problem with this dog mess.
I am far from being anti dog but I would appeal to dog owners to bag and bin your dogs mess. Also please keep your dogs off football pitches.
Oscott is suffering from thefts of the metal containers out of litter bins at the moment (14 at the last Count) and this is not helping the situation. If you suspect a bin is being stolen make a note of what is happening and inform the Police.
It would be helpful to responsible dog owner if bins were in place on our streets.
I am calling on the Council to replace these missing bins as soon as possible. They need to re think the design to.
