I AM appealing to whoever is responsible for allowing their dog to foul the pavement directly outside Marian Vian Primary School, Shirley Crescent, Beckenham.

Parents and children have to dodge the dog mess, making some parents and young children walk in the road to avoid it.

If children tread in the mess it is then trodden through the school and as assembly is usually first thing in the morning, where the children have to sit close together, it is then transferred onto clothing, hands and so on.

Please be a responsible owner and clear up after your dog.
