I LEAD guided walks in the Waterhall valley and golf course area, and the dog problem is difficult and growing.
Packs of dogs off the lead with "so called" dog walkers unable to control them, excrement along all the footpaths and open spaces and worst of all, the poo bags left hanging on the bushes.
There was a Friends of Waterhall nature group in the past, but they gave up because of the dog problem, the sheer amount of dog urine and faeces was changing the nature of the grassland and many of the dog owners were plainly abusive when asked to control their animals.
