Disgusted residents, who have taken the battle against dog mess into their own hands, have hailed their poop watch scheme a success.

People living in the Dengie are encouraged to use a Facebook page, Dengie Dog Poo Neighbourhood Watch, as a place to post names and photographs of lazy dog owners who fail to pick up after their pets.

Watch members are also posting warnings about which pavements have fresh dog mess on.

The assumption that dog mess not picked up is due solely to laziness is wrong. As an ex dog owner I used to go out with more than enough bags for my dog but every now and then a dog develops a runny tummy and you just run out of bags. So don't just assume it's laziness - it may be but it's not always so.

Now can we also talk about cat owners who get away with their cats doing the same in every one else's garden and murdering all the local birds and wildlife - such as frogs...
