<p>Had a lovely walk to Wood Green early this morning, via the New River path. It was stunning. So grateful to HoL community for bringing it to my attention - even if you’d rather have kept it to yourself!</p>

<p>How can dog pooh next to a feed into the capital’s drinking water system ever be acceptable? There needs to be a concerted comms effort to get people who do this to understand the error of their ways, followed up by fines if necessary. If Haringey could do this for people dumping domestic waste over their garden boundaries on the parkland walk why not here. Appreciate it’s easier to guess who’s been at fault with domestic rubbish.</p>

<p>Thank you for speaking up. I walk my dog every day along this path and am always dismayed to see how many other owners do not "pick up." Unfortunately even one owner walking a dog there daily and not cleaning up means a lot of poo! And then when some owners see that there's so much there already, they aren't inclined to pick up their dog's, either.</p>
<p>I wish they would consider adding a poo bin halfway down the path and providing bags, the way they do in some cities. I know that people…</p>

<p>Same applies to the other part of New River path (from Green Lanes) and all the open spaces around us Hugh - I'm hoping that once (if?) people go back to work there will be quiet times during the day for use solitude-seekers.</p>

<p>You and many others,Ruth. I have to admit to being in two minds about it. I’m glad people are discovering it as an amenity, but I’m also a bit sad at losing what has long been a rare chance for peaceful solitude. </p>

<p>I've only started walking along here since lockdown after living in the area for so long.... I was put off before as it looked uninviting. I've enjoyed walking along what for me is a new route. </p>

<p>It's certainly been very very much busier than usual. It does seem remarkably clear for all that. It's not been perfect though. There was a dump of sorts at the Wightman end which I reported to Thames Water on 6th April. That seemed to be dealt with quite quickly.</p>

<p>We walked along on Sunday afternoon, the grass verge beside the water was full of dogsh*t, don't think very many dogs go along there on their own, irresponsible owners are to blame. A couple of weeks ago there was an impassioned plea from, judging by the hand-writing, a younger member of the community to dog-owners to clean up after their canines.</p>
