Couple injured avoiding dog mess call for action

A retired couple from Spilsby has called for urgent action to be taken against the town’s irresponsible dog owners after suffering painful injuries, trying to avoid mess on the pavement.

Michael and Anna Webster each suffered bruises and broken bones after falling in an attempt to dodge the dog foul while walking along Old School Mews in the town last month.

“My wife pointed towards some you know what on the footpath, I turned to look where she was pointing, missed the step, tripped and fell on her, she broke her arm, I fractured my wrist and landed on my ribs,” said Michael.

“It was partially my fault that I had fallen over and it was very unfortunate that I landed on my wife but my attention had been diverted because of the dog mess.”
