My husband and I are new residents to Bexhill.

Since our first visit we are and continue to be impressed with Rother District Council’s waste collection services.

Always pleasant and polite the waste collection guys work hard to keep Bexhill and its seafront clean and tidy and attractive to residents and visitors alike.

Sadly the whole impression is quickly spoiled by the amount of dog mess left behind by the owners of dogs who do not clean up after them.

On Sunday walking from the colonnade to Cooden it was virtually impossible to admire the view without treading in small or extremely large piles of mess.

A popular route with dog walkers it obviously is and while I am happy to acknowledge that some owners do pick up after their dog(s) there are quite a considerable number who do not.

Culprits range from those who are ‘occupied’ on their mobile phones thereby ‘missing’ the mess being deposited.
