Dog walkers have been given a wake-up call in strong language by furious homeowner Paul Staines.

Paul, of Branksome Avenue, Stanford-le-Hope, is so fed up with dogs fouling his garden he has erected a notice to remind people it's not a doggie loo.

He wants to let people know what it's like to walk out the front door every morning and find dog mess on the lawn.

The placard spells out in explicit language exactly what he wants rogue dog walkers to do.
