Sir.-My daughter attends Park View Infant School. I am absolutely disgusted with dog owners letting their animals foul on the pavements around the school and not having the decency to pick it up.

Children, parents with pushchairs and other pedestrians all have to use this route to school and it is horrible that we have to dodge this mess.

If these people are not responsible enough to pick up after their dogs, they are not responsible enough to own them.

I understand the children of Park View are making posters to put around the perimeter of the school grounds, asking owners to clear up this mess.

I just hope the people who let their animals defecate on the pavements are able to read the posters, as they certainly do not seem to be able to read the signs regarding dog mess.
