DO Blackburn people not take a pride in their town any more?

Obviously not - the streets are absolutely filthy, full of litter and dog mess.

I thought offending dog owners were prosecuted. Surely, Blackburn Council could invest extra money into updating our cleansing department to regularly keep our streets and pavements clean. Other countries do.

Or maybe offending dog owners should be mad to wash the pavements down. Then maybe they would have some consideration for other people, and not let their dogs foul the pavements in the first place.
