dog warden!

[grumpy]

there was a dog warden along the beach at spittal this afternoon,somebody got nicked for not picking up the poo
spoke to her later and she says there's only 5 of them to cover Northumberland she also said they've had 5 nickings in this area £75 fine, dear poo, they go down tweedmouth as well, wonder why it's never been in the tiser maybe folk would be a bit more responsible if it was in the paper and how much the fine is
she also said the traffic wardens have been told to watch out for folk not picking up not sure what jurisdiction traffic wardens would have tho

I read in the Advertiser that there is a Dog warden living in Horncliffe, would that be the same one?

[grumpy]

she said she came from morpeth tweedsider, not sure about horncliffe

The dog and traffic wardens could make a fortune if they spent more time in the right places.Along the riverside is another bad place--you step onto the grass to pick up your dogs poo and youre very lucky if you dont step in somebody elses lurking in the long grass !!

[grumpy]

it's bad everywhere I took the dog for a parvo injection and the vet said that's how it's picked up, by folk not picking up the poo so if your dogs sniffs it got a high chance of infection

[boozysuzi]

some folk just too lazy !! they sort of pretend theyre looking at something else then slink off !!

[tweedsider]

Are they still patrolling?

[grumpy]

last saw them about 6 weeks ago a man and a woman but i think most of the mess is made at night or early morning

[tweedsider]

Everything seems to have been scales back since April

[grumpy]

got no money to employ a full time warden they have to go all over northumberland
