When we moved here, we took our dogs to a nearby deserted area - never saw a soul. Then 6/7 years ago professional dog walkers found it! It’s a constant stream of vans, every hour of the working day, 5 days a week and ‘the mess’ (that’s dog cr*p) is disgraceful. DH campaigned for a poo bin and got 2, but do they use it??? He used to point it out to them and they’d say they would pick it up on the return leg, but most didn’t. No dogs for me now, but I get DD2’s Little Dog at least once a fortnight and take him there late at night. It’s supposed to be a family friendly area, trees planted by the Woodland Trust, but I wouldn’t take a child there with all the sh*t to avoid. Don’t even get me started about the hanging bags!!
