HAVING just read the Andover Advertiser comment and as a responsible dog owner I have to agree that people who get fined for not picking up after their dog should definitely be named and shamed.

I live in a village not far from Andover and as good as many owners are at clearing up, there are many who are not. On many occasions I have offered people a bag to use. They usually take it as they are too embarrassed not to.
