Maybe they don't count dog muck?

Re: Cleanest Streets
 

I rang the cleansing department and told them there was dog muck all over the street. She asked me if I knew where it came from :eek::eek::eek:

Re: Cleanest Streets
 

A big contribution to messy streets are the gobs of gum which end up ingrained in the pavement. These are impossible for street sweepers to remove. What a disgusting habit.

I've just had a thought....is it dog muck?....it could be the one of the Maundy wino's, druggies & wastrels.

You've got to tell us what your reply was!

Re: Cleanest Streets

I admire your self control!

It's like that up our way at times. We always pick up after Max, but there are quite a few up our way who don't . I have yet to catch them and politely ask them if they want a bag as I always carry one or two. The are tarring responsible dog owners with the same brush.

Re: Cleanest Streets
 

You should try living on a private unmade road Frank where the dog wardens have little if any jurisdiction. There is dog muck everywhere and sometimes the owners leave the full bags lying around too despite there being a dog bin only a few yards away. I wouldn't even mind if they put the bags in my bin which is in the front garden. But catching anyone in the act? Impossible!

Re: Cleanest Streets
 

Totally agree with you .There is a dirt track just past our house leading up to High Riley Cottages and a dog poo bin about 50 yards up the track. There is always a lot of dog muck around the bin. The owners are too lazy to pick up or think "It doesn't matter up the track." That track is walked by a lot of people with or without dogs, we know the responsible dog owners around us and none of us catch the culprits.

Re: Cleanest Streets
 

Yes our road has been there since 1879 when the houses were one of the first terraces in Morecambe. It's still a dirt track which is good in some ways as it stops vehicles using it, as it is a through route from the prom to the church.

However the appearance of the road means the lowlifes who don't pick up their dog poo think it doesn't matter even though the road is used by a lot of young children who live here and play out in safety because its nice and quiet.

Let's not talk dog muck, unfortunately the swear checker won't allow me to talk (****),

If we want clean streets, we need to kill not the dog's but the owners that say poochie is wonderful and should be allowed to crap wherever I take him.
:D

Ya they beat the Obs to it;)

Re: Cleanest Streets
 

Well street cleaner has been round so now there's only half of it left :rolleyes:

Re: Cleanest Streets
 

If ours are the cleanest streets in Lancashire there must be some right old middens about! I walk down Water Street and thru the bus station 5 days a week and let me tell you it is not clean, this week so far I have seen disgarded glass bottles, underwear, used sanitary towels,empty methadone bottles and the usual assorted dog mess and normal litter.....
Cleanest streets?? Don't make me laugh. ( unless this survey was done when Her Maj was here!!)

Re: Cleanest Streets
 

They must be the cleanest Linds,if it said so in the paper?:D:D

Re: Cleanest Streets
 

Sounds like you had a good night linds:hidewall::hidewall::D:D

Re: Cleanest Streets
 

If that's dog kak then the owners have to take most from it.. you can't expect to have a full time team clearing up any streets under the present government cuts..people were told this would happen and so it's a waste of valuable tory time to start moaning now.

Re: Cleanest Streets
 

People were told that the streets would not be cleaned because of "cuts" and most people thought we would have to suffer it..that's the way it is..no point moaning now.
Moaning about clean streets seems small fry when it comes to the massive cuts on caring for the old and infirm in any town these days..wake up
