SIR – So, Baildon Liberal Democrat campaigner Ian Lyons (T&A, September 3) considers that the small ‘no dog fouling’ messages placed on pavements by the local Tory councillors are “graffiti”.

What petty political point-scoring that is. We are all sick and tired of being confronted by dog mess, and this small action should not be pooh-poohed if it will have some positive effect.
