Hoi! Accrington Observer

I guess the Accrington Observer is now rattling in its death throes,when this is one of their selling headlines……

REVEALED: The worst grot spots in the borough for dog fouling - Accrington Observer

Then again..I suppose you can’t have a headline that reads like this…

’REVEALED..non story..40% decrease in reported dog poop in Hyndburn’

However, contrary to everyone else on the planet, someone who was a labour councillor 40 years ago, reckons dog poop is worse than ever and you dog owners are to blame….this is despite facts and evidence showing the opposite….
But even he thinks it’s a waste of time reporting it to the current council because ‘he doesn’t think anything will happen’

And he’s probably right! In 5 years 1100 reports of dog fouling…. roughly 4 lumps of dog poop a week in the whole of Hyndburn and the council can’t cope!

So what chance have the poor sods from Huncoat, one councillor who spends most of his time either asleep or on photo shoots in other wards and one councillor who lives so far away that he observes his constituents through a telescope

Fury as '100 tonnes' of waste dumped on popular dog walking site - Accrington Observer

I’m reliably informed that this will cost around £56000 to remove, the council wont pay, neither will the land owners…and the police (as usual when it’s nothing to do with motoring) ain’t got a clue whodunnit….guess you half-dingles will have to suck it up (and breathe it in during the coming summer months), because one of your councillors is having photo ops with Jonesy, and the other is stargazing at the Harwood inbreds

But hey…the Accrington Observer…..finger on the pulse of local issues *spits*

ON the page you linked to above for the dumped waste, I am sure that one of the image's is photoshopped?

Is it me or is that appliance floating?

I think it has supports/stabilizers to stop the extended ladder from tipping it over, you can see one of them just behind the front wheel, they've probably lifted it off the ground.

At least now the irresponsible amongst the dog owners might learn what it's like to have tons of uninvited crap dumped on their doorstep!

Unfortunately, like everything in society there are those good and the bad.

Although somehow I don't think that all that crap dumped in a public place that affects all (not just dog walkers) in any way equates to the occasional dog poo near your property.

It's not been "Accrington Observer" for a long time now. It is more concerned with Manchester area.

Calm down a little please, it's still the Accy Observer it's just that now it doesn't observe Accy, as you say it observes Manchester, at least it observes something, which is more than Hyndburn Council does.
