We get a lot of Reepham residents walking their dogs along Park Lane to use the field at the end, opposite the cemetery, for exercising their pets.

The majority of dog owners are well-mannered, but there appears to be one who thinks it is ok to leave their pooch’s poo for someone else to clear up.

The deposits are not being left every day, but are random.

While we have tried to watch for the act to happen, we have been unsuccessful to date.

Is there anything the town council can do to help us and our neighbours to stop this antisocial behaviour?

It is just a matter of time before one of the schoolchildren, who also use the lane to reach school, steps in this mess and slips, or carries disease into the school on their footwear.

This is a reminder to dog owners about their responsibility. At the end of the day it is up to them to pick up the poo, no matter how unpleasant it is.
