I too am a dog owner who cleans up after my dog, but I would like to see more done about people who do not bother to clean up the mess.

I go to Springhead recreation ground in Northfleet and am disgusted at the amount of mess there. Unlike your previous writer, I would very much like Gravesham Council to send out "dog spies" to catch these people.

Unfortunately Gravesham Council don't seem to care.

This recreation ground is also littered with beer bottles and cans and rubbish from spectators after weekend football matches, including the orange peel from the footballers themselves.

There are also the remains of two or three motor bikes and a burnt out caravan there, but again, the Council just are not interested.
