Dog mess, getting worse. No signage in area.

Reported via mobile in the Dog Fouling category anonymously at 22:20, Tue 2 April 2024

Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5798404.

The amount of dog mess has increased recently. The dunes and grass are often covered, and the paths over to the beach are like navigating a minefield. There are no signs up stating no fouling in the area. Obviously some people will still refuse to pick their dog mess up but perhaps some signs might help? This lovely area is being spoiled and is a terrible advertisement for the town.

  • Still as bad and still no signage. It is on the middle of the paths most days while some people quite openly watch their dogs mess then just leave it. I'm getting fed up using my own poo bags to pick up other people's mess!

  • Still all over. some of us regulars pick up as much as we can with our own poo bags but it's everywhere. Really let's the town down.
