SIR - First of all, my apologies to the very few caring, conscientious dog owners of Bandley Hill. Now to the nitty gritty, on a 20-yard patch of grass near the Hyde shops, I saw 10 or 12 deposits.

On ringing the dog warden, I was extremely pleased that, after two hours he had erected dog warning notices, but alas, the health authorities let us both down. Even after calling in at the town centre, and also ringing them, I was surprised that nothing had been done to clear the area.

It has since got worse, even on the footpaths and in front of the newsagents!

I think it is time that you irresponsible dog owners started to carry your poop scoops with you and clean up your act. Do you not realise the danger that this fouling can do to children?

I look forward to your cooperation!
