Lazy Dog Owners

We had a meal booked on the East Lancs Railway steam train so stayed at Burrs as it was so handy for travelling into Bury - just a short taxi ride away, cost (3.50). The site itself is fine, good hard standing pitches in a pleasant location. However, there seems to be a particular ongoing problem with irresponsible dog owners. We love dogs and have been dog owners for many years but for some inexplicable reason, people on this site seem to think it's ok to walk their dogs over other people's pitches or let their dogs run loose - the consequence of which was a pile of dog mess we found behind our caravan on Sunday morning (13th Aug). DISGUSTING! - imagine if I hadn't noticed it and walked the mess into our caravan/awning.I cleaned it up and reported it to the wardens who said that is exactly the problem - it really isn't the dogs fault, but the lazy owners who can't be bothered to walk to the site entrance and go through a gate into the Country Park. It isn't fair to blame the wardens (who, they informed me have also been dog owners in the past). Apart from this problem, the site was fine. The Brown Cow pub adjoining was a bit rough and ready but had a good food menu. I would return to this site again.
