It might not quite be a banksy, but the council dog stencil does seem to be fairly effective at keeping the hill clean and safe, at least in the bits it appears; I certainly would tread carefully walking across the roundabout lawns on the wimpey estate, or certain parts of eaglesfield or shrewsbury park or the woods, although things are getting better.
Anyway it seems to be a fairly serious initiative with its own enforcement officials being geared up to hit anti-social dog-owners where it hurts, i.e. the purse.
I’m not sure what kind of dog the stencilhound is? I once saw a similar street painting in paris, and it was definitely a lapdog of some sort, you know the type that fits in a handbag, but the Greenwich version appears to be modelled on a cross between a Poodle and an Alsation, I call it a Poosation.
or perhaps an Alsapoo… (i do actually like dogs i’m just testing the comments).
We can’t just blame pet dogs, there are an awful lot of foxes, some a lot bigger than the average pet!
i had wondered if the change from bin bags to wheely bins might put the foxes off a bit, but they have already found out how to open them, allegedly.
OOOOOOOOOOh you can do comments on your site now. How excellent. Paraphrasing the comment I sent to you via my blog: think that Poosation is a marvellous word. Hope it makes it into the Oxford English dictionary one day 😀
welcome to the fray plummy mummy! it’s a pleasure to have you on board.
