Reading comments on a local Dukinfield councillor’s website it would appear that there is a dog dirt crisis in Dukinfield. Also, in Haughton Green I have noticed large A4 sized laminated temporary signs with a picture of a Tameside Patroller pointing, Lord Kitchener style, and warning dog owners of dire consequences if they allow their dogs to foul the pavement and then fail to clean it up.At some stage I am sure everyone has trodden in dog dirt – and there are few things more annoying! As a responsible dog owner I find it totally unacceptable that people leave their animals free to make mess wherever they chose and then make no effort to clean it up. I must admit that I am noticing more dog dirt on pavements recently, not just in Tameside but all over the country. Has anyone else noticed this too and if so what is the likely cause; record numbers of dogs, a new generation of thoughtless dog owners or cost cutting by councils that leads to less street cleaners?
It is also worth adding that in Tameside the Labour Party and BNP seem to make dog fouling a campaign issue during elections, the Lib Dums also use this tactic with great success in Manchester and elsewhere, however I have never noticed the Conservatives making an issue of this. Could this be because dogs and dog owners have more of a conscience in relation to dog fouling in traditional Conservative wards?

Maybe for you but not people that don't won't dog shit in their garden and on pavements.
Dog fouling is a major concern to many people, not just because of the mess it causes, but because it can be a health risk. Dogs may deposit ground worms, eggs (toxocara canis) in their faeces, which become infectious after about three weeks, and can remain so for up to two years. Anyone, but particularly children playing near to the ground, can run the risk of picking up and swallowing the eggs. The symptoms of toxocara infection range from aches, dizziness and nausea, to asthma and pneumonia, but also can, in some circumstances, cause blindness. There are approximately 30,000 dogs in Tameside. Each day they produce nearly 12 tons of dog mess. Much of this is left on footpaths and playing fields
Dear residents we have a choice here and for once a real decision to make,What would you rather have Dog shit on the streets or West on the streets.
Both are bad and can be real nuisance its your choice I have made my mind up I go or the dog shit.
