The people to get in touch with are the Environental Health Department but for an immediate fix I would see if I could catch the culprits in the act and have a polite word with them. I am a dog owner and I carry plastic bags to clear up after the dog, I don't find it any bother at all in picking it up in a bag and putting it in the specially installed bins in the park or even taking it home and putting it in my waste bin if nowhere else is available. I know exactly how you feel, many times I have challenged people who just leave the waste on the footpath, I have even been known to give the owners a few bags to pick it up themselves. It is all about educating dog owners to pick it up after their dogs.
