Sunnyhurst Wood in Darwen is a beautiful place to walk. Or so I thought.

I went there with my daughter and grandson for a Sunday walk. We had only walked through the gates and my daughter stood on some dog muck.

Then two minutes later my grandson of three stood in some more.

There are signs warning of ‘on the spot’ fines, and bins all over the woods for the dog muck.

I know it’s not all dog owners who are guilty of this filthy crime, but to the ones who are – come on, pick up your dog mess and keep Sunnyhurst Wood a pleasant place to have a family walk without treading in their dog’s mess.
