dog mess

Note to all dog owners,,,can you please make sure you 'pick up' after your dog, as the mess around Block 2 is getting worse.  This seems to be a popular destination for a lot of dog owners.

Most of the dog mess is from the wild dogs (at least 7 of them now) that are gaining accessthrough the netting next to block 2.

So far AEA have ignored requests to do something about this so could all subscribers visit their offices and complain. Then maybe they might take some notice

When I was in DV last at the end of February I noticed a number of wild dogs were congregating and had set up home just behind the fence on the bit of land beside the road between DV and Duquesa Fairways.  Does anyone know the procedure for reporting this?

I am these for next two weeks.  I can see the road below block 2 from my balcony and have new posh camera with zoom lense.  Will give it a test for snapping miscreant dog owners.

Seems the main culprits are the feral dogs, some of which were seen this morning running past block 7 - one had a litter of puppies a couple of months ago and another is now pregnant, I have e-mailed AEA today, as not only is the dog mess a problem, several of them have mange, probably worms and goodness knows what else so pose a serious health risk to humans and owned dogs and cats. None of the animal rescue agencies are able to round them up - they are all full to capacity.

I do not want to become the "expert" on dog mess but the mess left around by the pool and Block 2 is from a larger dog than the wild ones. I have reported the owner/renter to AEA and spoken to the dog owner. But they do not seem bothered. Need pressure from all at DV.

If I recall correctly dogs must be on a lead at all times and are not allowed on the grass areas at all. There were signs that have either been taken of faded in the sun.

The wild dogs are are problem and must be solved but do not be fooled into they are the only issue

In relation to the feral dogs, I messaged the AEA and here is the reply I got today, so hopefully that part of the problem will soon be sorted, and as for people who live here not picking up after their dogs, keep on at AEA naming the offender(s) - if they keep getting messages they will hopefully write to them and take action??

Further to any action from AEA re irresponsible dog owners on DV, and the broken fence where the feral dogs are getting in, this is their latest response back:

AEA have sent out the notice to owners (above) but what about communication to those who rent apartments?

It may be renters who are contributory to the problem.  Might they put notices up in those places where dog mess tends to be left and perhaps stress the consequences of breaching the request ? Without the threat of a financial penalty will the die-hard, non-compliant dog owner take any notice of polite requests?

As regarding the stray dogs that hang about just outside the estate my partner contacted a dog rescue chartity about these dogs ( ADANA - Association for rights of abandoned animals) who responded that they did not have capacity and they suggested contacting "the local police" as the most effective course of action.  We've not done this because we suppect they will be immediately 'put down'.
