A mum has voiced fears for her children amid a "nightmare" of dog poo and dogs left off leads near their school. Sadiat Lamoriyu believes the problem is getting out of control in Ely, Cardiff.
The support worker's daughters Alesha, nine, and Naomi, eight, attend Hywel Dda primary school on Cambria Road. Sadiat, 40, said the streets around the school are strewn with dog mess, and she was recently "terrified" by an aggressive dog off its lead in Deere Road park.
She said: "I was on my way to Hywel Dda when a dog ran away from its owner and jumped at me in the park. I don't know what breed it was but it was quite a big one. I slipped in the mud and the dog did not stop jumping at me. I was so frightened. I landed on the mud but if I'd landed on the hard path I could have broken my arm."
