Every Saturday, my grandson's football team play and train with four other teams, at Garons, Southend.

For the last few weeks all the teams have had to ensure nappy sacks are part of the kit.

The dog mess we come across is unbelievable! This Saturday, I picked up nine bags of the mess - not including on the bottom of my track suit and trainers!

If one of the boys happen to get any of this in their eyes, you cannot imagine the damage it would do.

As a pet lover and owner, I ask those responsible for this mess: What does it take to put your hand in a bag pick the matter up and put in the bin provided by the council?
