I would like to ask those of you with dogs if you could not let your dogs foul in the public alley leading to Tubbenden School.
My six-year-old brother Adam and I use the alley and we have to dodge dog mess on the path.
It is very unpleasant having to clean it off your shoes.
Those children who are not so lucky and tread in the dog mess then carry it on their shoes into our school, spreading germs and smelling bad.
In the alley there are lots of signs put up by the local council and I'm sure the problem applies to a few dog owners although the resulting mess affects many children.
On behalf of Tubbenden children please keep our alleyway clean.
