The dog walker who complained about “dirty Weymouth” should realise that a lot of the “dirt” emanates from dogs, in some cases multiple dogs.

We have to be careful not to tread in the mess that is not cleared up by owners, trails of urine streaking the pavements and the sight of dog waste bins funded by the council tax payers.

Having had to clear up two lots of dog mess this week. I feel I have a point.
