SIR,

I agree with the letter in the Beacon about dog fouling.

I say don't blame the dog – blame the owner.

Living at Dixton Close I know the nice little walk around the block for dogs, Dixton Close and The Gardens.

When the letter said about children walking in it, some people take the children as well.

Great example.

My neighbours at Dixton Close and The Gardens are all people who pick up so it is the outsiders who wander around who leave the fouling.

I suspect it's another form of nimby.
