I NOTICE that our seasonal habit of decorating Christmas trees has now spread to our hedgerows. The decorations take the form of plastic bags full of dog poo, randomly thrown into the hedges, adjacent our footpaths! Unlike our Christmas tree decorations, these charming little packets will be there for all to admire for many, many years, until the plastic finally degrades and the contents are allowed to fall and bio-degrade.

I applaud the actions of most dog walkers who clear up after their pets, but to clear up and then immediately dispose of the bag in this manner beggars belief.
