Serious dog fouling on residential garden wall and public street. Dog owners simply walked away and did not return to clear up.

Reported via desktop in the Dog Fouling category anonymously at 16:31, Wednesday 25 June 2025

Sent to Northumberland County Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 7763562.

At approx 20:00 on Sunday 22.06.2025 the owners of a collie dog (blonde young lady and dark(ish)-brown haired male partner) stood outside our property 27 Percy Rd, Shilbottle, Alnwick, NE66 2HF and watched whilst their dog poo-ed diarrhea down the front garden wall and onto the public street. They simply then turned and walked away and did not return to even attempt to clean up the putrid, foul-smelling and disgusting mess that started to spread across the public footpath (where children, mother's with pushchairs, elderly residents and all other members of the public walk). They had gone from sight by the time I had grabbed shoes and got to the garden gate.. I had to thoroughly clean & scrub the garden wall with bleach to remove the faeces and also use several buckets of water with disinfectant to swill all the faeces from the public footpath into the road. I then felt so dirty and uncomfortable that I put all my clothes through the wash and took a long shower.
