AN angry dog owner has hit back at people who claim his area is unsafe for children.
Dave Wyatt, aged 60, of Manor Road, Erith, has responded after Ayodeji Akande, chairman of Riverside Residents’ Association in Erith, said children could not play in Riverside Gardens because they felt harassed.
But Mr Wyatt said: “When kids go there they’re left to run riot. They sit on the grass and leave their rubbish all over the place. They leave it in a real mess.”
The accident investigator claims he has to pick up the rubbish they leave behind when he walks his dogs every morning.
He said: “If they want a park, all they have to do is walk 400 yards to Erith recreation ground.”
