Mystery campaigner gives out free poop bags
 |
A mystery campaigner is behind a one-man mission to clean up a path covered in dog mess by appealing to owners' better nature with a home-made sign, and even supplying them with free bags to clear up after their pets.
The campaigner, thought to be a fed-up local, has created the home-made sign, complete with free bags for pet owners to clear up after their dogs in the village of Overseal, South Derbyshire.
The path off Woodville Road in the village has been a well-known hot spot for problems with dog mess, but the mystery sign is thought to be having an impact as problems there have started to improve, say locals.
The sign, mounted on a pole, has wire threaded through which has a role of black bags for dog owners to use to clear up after their pet if they get caught without one.
The sign, printed on a large white board, and its friendly wording has certainly struck a chord with pet owners who use the path. It invites pet owners to 'please take a poo bag' having warned about the dangers of dog mess causing worms and other nasties for other pooches.
And there is even a message to dogs which reads: "Attention dogs: grr, bark, woof."
