“Since the college 12 months began we’ve seen that used canine poo luggage have been being thrown on to the huts. My workplace window appears to be like over that hut and you’ll clearly see the luggage.
“We put the indicators up on the college gates on December 12 and fortunately we haven’t had any points since. We should not a garbage dump, we’re a major college.
“We promote a clean environment for children growing up, who let’s remember are the future of our society. So for people to throw used dog poo bags, it is not promoting a clean and healthy environment and can be damaging in the future.”
Mr James advised BristolLive he could not perceive why folks did it. He added: “Responsible canine homeowners use bins, not a major college.
“The wind could have blown the bags off, but thankfully it didn’t. Imagine the hazards that could have been created. It is so unhealthy and children could have been infected.”
The college wrote to North Somerset Council reporting the incidents in addition to requesting a canine poo bin close by.
Mr James stated: “There are no dog poo bins nearby. You would think just having one bin would be enough. Fingers crossed that is the last of it now.”
