I REFER to: Dog dirt dumpers (BEN, January 11).

While I agree with disgruntled residents I feel that a supply of "dog bins" instead of one at the back of The Little Barn, would solve the problem.

I walk my dog for his two hours per day and end up carrying two or three bags round with me.

This problem is also in Moss Bank Park, where I never see any "dog bins".

Surely more bins are needed in order for dog owners to become more responsible and pick up after their dogs.
