What can I do about…
dog poo on the pavements near my flat?Generally on the same bit of street, until the street sweepers do their rounds. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the same culprit each time. Is there any point in telling the council? Is there anything they can do beyond putting up a sign?

In my (limited) experience dogs work on the basis of smell which is probably why they come back. When I had dog crap at the end of the path, having removed it, I put down some disinfectant. This was not to kill any germs but the strong smell was intended to stop them coming back. It worked.

Fixmystreet is cool, it goes directly to the relevant council who seems to always follow it up in my experience
