IF the public right of way through the grounds of St Peter's School is to remain open, can I please call on every dog walker to clean up their pet's mess?

On a regular basis myself and other parents have to warn our children to avoid the piles of dog dirt left on the paths within the school. Clearing up your dog's mess on a public right of way is not only common courtesy to all other users of the pathways, it is a legal requirement.
