Turning our Downtown into Doo-Doo Ville

I address this letter to all citizens of New Tecumseth:

Recently I have been completely outraged by the state of our downtown sidewalks. Being a committed member of our community, I take pride in the appeal of our downtown core. It's what makes our town unique. In the past few weeks, however, I have observed more and more dog droppings being abandoned along our sidewalks. It's disgusting! Along with living a block away from downtown Alliston, I also work on the main street. Each day I see students on their lunch break hustling back and forth to class, stepping in these mounds of filth. Not only that but mothers with strollers driving through it unaware. It's simply appalling. The bottom line is this: if you take pride in your small town, take care of it!  Period. And do your fellow neighbours a favor and pick up after your pet. Just stoop and scoop! It's really quite simple and a common courtesy to all. It would be a shame if our town council had to begin fining residents for not picking up after their pooches. Come on people, don't turn our downtown into Doo-Doo ville!

Respectfully,

Christine Walton
