I LIVE in Tobermory Close and have not come across dog faeces on the pavements.

I have encountered broken glass dumped around the stile to the Sankey Valley Park on at least three occasions and slug pellets mixed with meat products several times.

My dog was poisoned last year having eaten raw sausage which had been laced with slug pellets. Oil and creosote have also been poured over and around the fence and stile.

I would suggest that these things could cause harm to children, not to mention domestic and wild animals.

On the morning of Easter Saturday I had to climb over the fence to get on to the park as somebody had boarded up the stile the previous night. As a 61-year-old pensioner, I think I'm getting too old for these antics.
