I have a new idea for a sign in Northwood:
It should be situated just above the current ‘Northwood’ sign as you enter Northwood via Newport Road, and it should read:
“Northwood – Dog Mess Capital Of The Isle of Wight”
For a little while the dog mess situation in Northwood wasn’t too bad, but unfortunately it looks like it is on the slide again.

I have to agree in part with ‘Anon’ of Northwood as only a few days ago, I fell foul of the silent footstep – funnily enough it was on Nodes Road, which I noticed this morning is still there (must be outside 40-ish Nodes Road).
Also, as a regular user of the footpath between Nodes and Newport Road I can state that walkers are not cleaning up down there. I can’t however comment on other areas in Northwood.

Dear Anonymous once again an article written by someone not willing to declare whom they are but wish everything to be done for them!!
Being a dog walker who obviously does not walk his dog in the areas of Northwood that this covers, or maybe I do, but fail to see any of the mess he/she relates to, them maybe they should say where the affected area is and something maybe then done about it.
Northwood does seem to be occupied by people not wishing to be identified even when they have raised contentious issues.
Treat it with the contempt it deserves.
