A group of children is fighting back against anti-social dog owners who let their pets poo in the street and do not clean up after them.

The "Poosaders" have been venturing around Kingston in their superhero costumes spraying excrement they see on the pavement with washable paint to shame unruly dog owners into cleaning up after their animals.

The worst street was named as Canbury Avenue where they found in some places it was hard for pedestrians to walk on the pavement because of the sheer volume of poo.

Supporters have pointed out that the bright paint helps stop people stepping in the mess.

Facebook user Jacqui Lee said: "Temporary paint is a good idea. It’s not always careful adults who walk around looking where they tread, it’s when it gets on the kids' shoes and the buggy wheels it becomes a smelly nuisance indoors.

However not everyone has been so happy with the Poosaders' mission.

Baz Carter wrote on Facebook: "The problem I have with this that it's even more unsightly than seeing droppings. I'd also point out that some I saw highlighted was fox scat."
