DOODOOWATCH is the name given by residents of Wimblington in Cambridgeshire for a 'poo-shaming' map in a bid to tackle dog fouling.
The BBC says the scheme allows locals to mark, using a smiley poo emoji, dumping spots on an interactive map.
The reports are then passed on to the local council, or, in some cases, cleaned up by the village's residents.
ROBIN Hood enthusiasts have expressed concerns about plans to build an industrial estate over what is believed to be his grave..
The Daily Express reports that apparently the legendary outlaw met his death after leaving Sherwood Forest to be healed by nuns in Kirklees Priory in West Yorkshire.
The prioress was the mistress of one of Robin’s enemies and slashed open one of his veins under the pretence of bloodletting.
His final resting place became shrouded in mystery after the owners of the nearby Kirklees Estate in refused to allow the public near the memorial for centuries.
But now council bosses have earmarked the unspoilt green belt as an industrial estate.
Robert Bamforth, from the Campaign to Protect Rural England, said: “Everyone locally believes that is where Robin Hood died and no one has ever challenged that legend.
“The tragedy is this land has not been disturbed for hundreds of years and looks just as it did centuries ago, so who knows what has been preserved.”
Max Rathwell, chairman of Spen Valley Civic Society,added: “The whole plan is tragic. People are enraged. If this crazy idea goes ahead it will devastate the area.”

The Daily Express salutes Snipe, a 16 month old cocker spaniel dog which has become the first in the country trained to detect water leaks.
Snipe underwent weeks of training by ex-military personnel to detect problems by sniffing out tiny amounts of chlorine in tap water and has now been recruited by United Utilities which supplies around three million homes in the North-west.
Owner Ross Stephenson said: “All I did was start off with normal tap water, and then put in extra chlorine levels to make it stronger.
“We would have eight glass pots. One of them would have the chlorine in and every time the dog sniffed that pot he would get rewarded with a tennis ball.”

London's V&A Museum is to feature a diamond and pearl tiara which was saved from the sinking of the Lusitania in 1915, reports The Guardian.
It will be one of the star objects in the first major exhibition on the classic age of the great ocean liners.
The tiara was commissioned from Cartier in 1909 by the Canadian banker and shipping magnate Sir Hugh Allan, as a gift for his wife Marguerite who was a passenger on the Lusitania, which was torpedoed by a German U-boat within sight of the Irish coast on its journey from New York to Liverpool.
Although she was rescued, both her daughters were among the 1,198 casualties (the body of one daughter was never found).
The exhibition will include posters, film, furnishings, parts of original ship fittings – including some ornate carving from the Titanic – and glamorous clothing worn by wealthy passengers on voyages.
