Dog poo - or more specifically, people not cleaning up after pets - is a serious problem in North Wales.

And outraged North Wales Live readers have got in touch report the worst hit areas n the hope of shaming "lazy dog owners for giving everyone bad name".

It comes after we revealed people's rights if you're sick of seeing dog poo in the streets.

Dog fouling is no laughing matter.

It's a problem which could lead to major health issues and 19 people have been hospitalised in North Wales over the last few years for toxocariasis - an infection transmitted from animals and often spread from faeces.

While rare, toxocariasis can cause a nasty infection that can lead to dizziness, nausea, asthma and even blindness or seizures.

But despite this risk and a fixed penalty notice of up to £100 for not cleaning up their pets' mess, it hasn't deterred some owners from walking on by after their pet has done their business on the street.

We've now collated a list of 'dog fouling hotspots' from your suggestions.

The list includes parks, streets and even well-known beauty spots.

Some of the more shocking areas reported by residents included in front of schools and children's play parks to landmarks.

Take a look at the full list below - if you have any more suggestions, please pop them in the comments or e-mail jaymelouise.hudspith@reachplc.com

The 11 miles National Cycle Route received a handful of mentions, for its "disgusting dog mess" littering the ground on this otherwise picturesque route.

A lovely place to go - but one reader commented saying: "my son goes kite surfing off the beach at West Shore and he says its everywhere."

Several residents reported dog mess littered over Craig-y-don park and in front of Craig y Don primary school.

One woman commented: "every day I walk my dog by the primary school and all I see is dog mess on the floor because people are so lazy and not picking up after there dogs and putting it in the bin."

Penrhos coastal Park, Holyhead

Again, another well-known beauty spot. People love the scenery there, but not when it looks like an open toilet.

One reader said: "There are loads of bins for dog mess. But omg it's discussing the amount of poo that's not picked up, so I don't go there with kids, it's awful."

A North Wales destination popular among holidaymakers, it is one of the most popular hot spots reported by members.

High Street, Blaenau Ffestiniog

Sounds like you'll have to tread carefully if you ever need to walk down this road.

One resident said "The high street is pretty bad, especially going down towards Manod Road. There is no penalty signs or bins in sight."

Little Orme, Llandudno

The famous landmark is a hotspot for walkers and tourists in search of beautiful views.

Sadly, people say it has started to become a "landmine" for dog mess.

One reader commented: "The Little Orme is shocking as more and more people bring there dogs up there and don't clean up."

Ffordd Talargoch, Prestatyn

Residents have reported this stretch of road as a well known spot where "lazy dog owners" have allowed their pets to defecate freely.

And apparently, they don't pick up their smelly leavings.

One said it was a "constant problem"
