I popped into Marlborough at the weekend. I was walking up Five Stiles Road. I walked very cautiously across the grass to talk to my sister at the window. I have to say, it was like dodging land mines. I was disgusted at all the dogs’ mess outside her window and further on.
Then what made me angrier is that I took my little girl over the play area in the rec, and counted 12 lots of dog mess along by the bank.
I think the council must decide if this is an area for children to play in or an area for dogs. The owners of these dogs should wake up and take responsibility.
They seem to forget about all the children who play in this area, either that or they just don’t care.
