Regarding your front page story We Are Sick Of This Filth (News Shopper, January 18).

I agree with the residents near Hayes Road, Greenhithe, about wanting action about dog dirt. They are not alone with this problem Sutton-at-Hone and South Darenth also have a big problem with it.

Every few yards you have to avoid dog mess. There are doggy-bins but these are obviously being ignored.

It is especially unpleasant for children and has health implications too.

This certainly needs addressing by the council as the problem seems to be getting worse.

Maybe someone needs to start selling pooper-scoopers in Dartford, as the borough certainly needs them.
