Fairlop Waters is under development at the moment, but it’s still in use as a public park. Only this morning I saw a group of local bird watchers with their telephoto lenses. tripods etc looking for wildlife to photograph.

Needless to say that the park is still a favourite location for dog walkers, who appear to be following the byelaws and cleaning up after their dogs. But how can they do that when the dog foul bins are so full, and overflowing with bags of dog excrement? I took this photo as evidence. This bin has been like this for around two weeks I reckon, as last weekend I walked around Fairlop and it was full up and beginning to overflow then. You can even see where bags have fallen on the ground, creating a health hazard!

Come on Redbridge council! What’s going on? If you’re going to fine irresponsible dog owners, who is going to fine you for not providing adequate facilities?
