A primary school pupil has had enough of dog mess in her neighbourhood and is calling on pet owners to clear up after them.

Mollie Jameson has started putting up home-drawn posters featuring a civic-minded poem around Drove Crescent Road and Drove Crescent in Portslade because she is fed up of seeing mess on her way to school.

The eight-year-old Peter Gladwin Primary pupil is hoping that dog owners will now take notice and keep the pavements clean.

Her mother Charlotte Jameson said: “She was just fed up with all the dog mess on her school run and instead of talking about nice things I keep having to tell her to look out for mess.

“She’s on the school council and she’s now thinking about issues.”
