Members of the community have spoken out about the reportedly growing issue with dog's mess in Helston's streets.

A post on a popular Facebook group has sparked conversation about the amount of dog waste that is not being properly disposed of.

The original post reads:

"For most the way up Wendron street to the police station within 5 steps, there is dogs mess! Why are people so lazy.

"Have a dog pick up after the dog! My kids step in it constantly and not their fault! Helston is so messy with dog poo all over the place!"

One commenter said:

"Old, young, male, female. No excuse. If you can't clean up after your animal then you do not deserve to own one."

Hannah Sole, Helston, recently posted a photo of a bag of dog's mess that had been thrown into her garden.

She stated:

"Whoever thought it was a good idea to throw a bag of dog poo into our garden absolutely disgusting, thank goodness my son isn't old enough to play in the garden!"
