Dear Sir, The Chestnuts at School Aycliffe has all the appearance of being a very nice estate. It’s a shame some of the dog owners are lazy, dirty and disrespectful to other residents. Nobody lives more than a five minute walk from the dog waste bins. So why when they are full, which happens occasionally at weekends, do they leave their mess on or around the bin for others to clear rather than take it home? They should be ashamed of their disgusting behaviour. Name and address supplied
