'˜It seems there is somebody who is very angry about dog mess and has had enough.
'˜I don't know who is putting them up though.'
But Cllr Mason has no issue with the signs being put up '“ saying it's nice to see someone caring about the state of their neighbourhood.
He explained: '˜I am totally relaxed about things like this; adverts for gigs and so on should be taken off lampposts but this is somebody who is caring about the place they live.
'˜I personally have no issue with it.'

'˜We've all thought it but few of us would actually go to the lengths of putting up a sign. Let alone one so brazen.
'˜You shouldn't own a dog if you're not prepared to take responsibility for it.'
