Villagers whose community has been blighted by dog mess have taken matters into their own hands - with an interactive "poop-shaming map".

People living in Wimblington in Cambridgeshire have become so fed up with the faecal street furniture that they have created a social media-based "poopfolio", where locals report sightings of dog mess.

The idea, called "Doodoowatch" when it was conceived on social media less than a week ago, has already seen a marked reduction in the amount of poop peppering parks, pathways and pavements around Wimblington.
