Walking minefield

ONE of mine and my wife’s favourite things about Littlehampton is the seafront and riverside, which we enjoy walking along as much as possible.

Unfortunately this is constantly spoiled by the amount of dog mess on the pavements (most notably Arun Parade).

Rather than looking at the river and bird life we find ourselves looking at the floor trying to dodge dog excrement – it’s more like a minefield of dog poo than a river walk!

One thing is the lack of dog waste bins, but that does not excuse the owners of the dogs who should be responsible for their dog’s waste.

This is Littlehampton’s best attraction and the last thing visitors need to see when visiting is the amount of dog mess which will put off parents with children.

It seems such a shame such a wonderful area is being ruined by a few lazy dog owners, but the council could also take a much more active role in signs, etc, to stop this happening.
