I CONSIDER myself a responsible dog owner having owned a dog for more than 40 years. I currently have two large breed dogs which I exercise daily on the land off Borron Road, Newton-le-Willows.

There are three dog waste bins on the land which have not been emptied for some three weeks. They are overflowing with waste. It is no use asking dog owners to clean up after their dog when the council can't be bothered to empty the bins.

They might as well remove them then at least there wouldn't be an unsightly mess.
