SIR – I was quite shocked when I read the pensioner’s plight about the binman defacating on his driveway (Worcester News, March 9).

How disgusting. Whatever did he think he was doing?

The pensioner was right to write to the council demanding £1,500 based on the fact the council can fine people up to £1,000 for dog fouling.

Quite right too,I agree. Fair play to him whoever he is.

The report said that the council had apologised unreservedly to the customer.I should think so too.
