Where the public sets the agenda

'No Messing!' That is the message to Britain's six million dog-owners from Elsie Thriggs, founder and president of Balham Dogwatch. Every day an estimated 1,000 tons of dogs' mess is deposited on pavements, parks and public places. Mrs Thriggs wants to see cleanliness and decency restored to our streets and a decent life salvaged for people.

'We see ourselves as vigilants who will stop at nothing to stamp out this filth. We will publish the names of the foulers in our magazine Gutterpress and read them out on the television...

'We are declaring 26 June 1985 National Dog **** Free Day. All local authorities are to be urged to appoint special Turd Squads....'

Last of three programmes Forty Years of Northern Townscape
The years since the end of the Second World War have seen more changes wrought to the towns and cities of the north than were thought possible - even during the Blitz.
But there has also been a massive turn-round of public opinion: away from the great Corbusier-inspired dreams of the ideal modern city towards more modest, intimate schemes. The future has been seen - and it doesn't work. 3: The Years of Repentance It's a brave developer these days who suggests knocking any building down.
Conservation is now the thing - but has there also been a loss of faith in the architecture of today?
