The estate has a lot of nicknames.
A stone s throw from the Bury s bustling town centre, it s earned the labels Legoland, and Plastic City, thanks to its prefabricated blocks
Sunken in a pit of land, secluded by the high walls that surround it, the neighbourhood is actually called Townside Fields.
It s a fact known mainly to older residents, who remember the neighbourhood in the 1970s.
There has been a 27 per cent increase in the number of complaints received in the last year with a majority of people surveyed describing how they fell foul of the problem on the street.
And slightly more than half of those in the survey (51 per cent) have come across dog poo in their local park.
The council revealed during the launch of phase two of its ‘Dog Poo, It’s Everybody’s Business’ campaign that residents have also been contacting their local representatives to complain about the ongoing issue of dog fouling in their area.
A suite of outdoor and digital adverts, a video and a radio ad have been created for this campaign, which will be rolled out in Dublin city from this week for a two week period.
