Litter is a massive problem for us all and has been an ongoing nightmare during this pandemic. Because of this I felt I must forward these photos of some of the dog Pooh bag on Lindow Common last Sunday which even appalled my young grandchildren.
There are rubbish collection bags at every entrance / exit and I am at a loss to see why dog owners can't see how they are destroying this beautiful ancient beauty spot that they obviously use and enjoy themselves by leaving used bags around like this.
Please dog owners, clean up after your dogs ,dispose of it in the bins provided or even better take it home and let's all enjoy our outdoor spaces free from other people's rubbish and help our environment.

If disposing of your dog's poo is so difficult in the normal, accepted way, take a small garden trowel with you. After the 'event', scoop it in a bag, dig a hole about 6-10 inches deep in remote soft ground and bury it.
We were described by Landseer as a nation of livestock keepers not animal lovers and I have never quite understood the desire to grope and kiss a furry, four legged animal that keeps licking.....
It's not a good idea to bury dog waste. It's a point source of pollution that can spell big trouble for soil and water quality, and even human health if it's buried too close to vegetable gardens or waterways. Dog excrement contains nasty pathogens like Giardia, Salmonella, and E.18
