I CONSIDER myself to be a responsible dog owner. I walk my dogs daily on the land situated off Borron Road, Newton-le-Willows.

I always clean up after my dogs. However, although there are three dog waste bins in the area, one has no handle on it and cannot be opened and recently the other two had not been emptied and were overflowing with dogs' waste.

This is far from satisfactory, especially when you read letters from people complaining about dog owners not cleaning up their dog's waste.
