I WONDER if anybody else agrees that people are very selfish today. I live in the Pothouse area of Darwen and constantly have to clean up dog mess.

I have contacted the council which says that this is classed as "anti-social behaviour" and it would provide free bags to dog walkers who care to call in at the town hall and collect them.

This perhaps could all be avoided if the sign outside my home warning dog owners who allow them to foul will be fined £1,000, was in position to be read instead of pointing towards my home. Repeated efforts to get it changed have failed.

Staff I spoke to assured me that as dog fouling is a health hazard they would have the area cleaned up but they have not done so.

I wonder if I could get the street on the TV as a game show. You would have to avoid dog mess, cars parked on the flags and rubbish to win.

The council doesn't seem to implement any rules it makes except the money-spinning car parking in the town centre.

Park on the flags there or fail to display a ticket and it will be on you quicker than a flea on a dog.

I THORNLEY (Mrs), Coniston Drive, Darwen.
