Cllr Bob Belam

Below is a typical complaint from a resident

 I am a resident of Aveling Park Road, E17  
 
I am writing to express my disgust and frustration at the increasing amount of dog faeces on the pavements. I take my son to school at Chapel End, and also use a pushchair for my toddler. Every journey, I am faced with the challenge of how to avoid dog faeces which has been trodden in all over the pavements. It is a regular occurance that we end up with faeces on our shoes, pushchair, and thus in our house. How often are children treading dog faeces into their classrooms unknowingly, which is even more of a worry.
 
This is an issue that has been a problem for a long time, but has now become intolerable. I have spoken with many parents and neighbours who are equally unhappy at the state of our streets.
 
I have approached our regular street cleaner, who is fully aware of the problem. However, in between his rounds every day, there are owners allowing their dogs to defecate, and his intervention alone is not solving the problem.
 
I would like to know what is being done to address the increasing problem of irresponsible dog owners.

Cllr Bob Belam has asked for the road to be cleaned and for enforcement officers to patrol the streets in an effort to catch uncaring owners.
