Another major problem is dog mess. I have recently followed 2 unaccompanied dogs home and talked to the owners about the mess they make. If I see the same dogs out unaccompanied again I will be informing the authorities.
If you know of areas where there has been fly tipping please report it.
If the land belongs to the Council or if you do not know who owns the land, phone Environmental Services on telephone number (0114) 203 7410 or (0114) 203 7411. If the land is privately owned Environmental Services will contact the owner and take legal steps to get the rubbish removed, this can take longer to arrange than removal from Council owned land.
Some of the litter pickers are interested in the idea of forming a local group to improve our environment. If you are interested in this idea, please get in touch with me.

Well done Graham on talking to the dog owners! Were they angry with you or just surprised? And why on earth do they let their dogs wander about unattended? I can't get my breath!

One was an elderly man on City Road who says he can't stop his dog running out by itself. Its a very old little scruffy white dog. I have seen it again unaccompanied several times so informed the authorities, who have paid him a visit and warned him.He was very surprised to be challenged- I hope he has learnt his lesson. The other was a very abusive youngster-but haven't seen her dog again so perhaps she did take some notice of me.
Well, cheers to you Graham, dog mess in public places is one of my pet (haha!) hates... it's very saddening isn't it, when you think of little children playing in a park you want it to be clean and safe... so it's great to hear that you're doing something really positive!
best wishes
Joey
