The number of times I have trodden in dog muck is now beyond a joke.

I have even had it deposited in my driveway.

I have complained about it to the police, but they say they have much more important things to do.

But if the police are going to be unhelpful, then I don't know what the world is coming to.

I help to pay their salaries through my council tax, so I feel that they should come and help me.

Instead, when I called, they just referred me to some department at Macclesfield who weren't a bit interested.

They pointed out that there were signs up already.

But the point is that people just aren't paying any attention to these signs.

I work during the day so unfortunately I do not see who allows their dog to foul my driveway.

In a final and desperate plea, I am now writing to you in the hope that the person will read this and get their dog to desist.

It is getting to the stage where I will have to take a day off work to spy on the culprit myself.

And if I catch them then, I won't just give them a piece of my mind!

Writing to you has made me feel better already.

t will be even better if you publish my plea and the culprit stops their foul dog.
