MAY I, through your letters page, bring notice to the disgusting state of the paths around Roman Way First School?

For some time, I have had cause to walk along these paths and there has always been a problem with dog mess, but as I walked along there on Friday, January 5, the whole area was disgusting with it every yard or so.

Who are these people who have no regard for the fact children walk along these paths to school? Though some thoughtful dog owners carry scoops and clean up after their pets, a lot do not.

So why is Redditch Council not acting on the notices they put up and fining those people responsible?

And before all you dog owners start reaching for your pens to complain about the litter that's dropped everywhere, I do not like that either but one dirty anti-social habit does not excuse another.
