Hi all.

We are buying an apartment in Estepona and have noticed around the apartment block a load of dog mess!

There are signs up asking to pick up but it seems some people are ignoring it. Has anybody else had this problem and any suggestions who to contact if it continues.

Thanks for reading

Hi Jacky

This should be controlled by the Local  Ordinances of the Estepona Town Council. The Ladies in the Plaza de le Flores Tourist Office should be able to point you in the right direction.

Good Luck

Take pictures.  In Casares they use the Green Line app so you can snap a photo and send it to them.  I would think that Estepona has something like this.

The whole dog mess in streets etc.  is still bad here in Spain. Too many people do not seem to think picking up their pet's mess is their responsibility.

The more people who complain the better.

Thank you

Hi There (Hola)

We have a holiday home in Velez Malaga, only been there twice this year and on both occasions up in the Old Quarter where our House is and walking down to the centre we have noticed Dog Pooh on the public footpaths, we have seen Dog Walkers stop let their dog Pooh and just carry on coming out of the town.

Maybe this is the Spanish Culture throughout Spain, its a good job the streets are well lit at night other wise you would be standing in it etc

Thanks 

Warm Regards
