oooh! AllforNun...does your mummy know you're playing on the computer?

according to my sources, its was kids with fireworks. nothing sinister at all

Hi charliecharlie if the fence uses an unnecessarily large quantity of material, ie metal which a non renewable resource, surely it is better to leave the one in place where it is, rather than take it out and replace it with something else, which would most probably also be metal 9which is a non-renewable resource). Re your point re less is more...you are absolutely right. less fence equals more dog shit.

right on p-in-ed. however i think anything we say will fall on deaf ears. maybe we need to do something more visible. for example, maybe everyone who wanted the fence to stay should tie a coloured ribbon onto the fence. or we could have our own rally one saturday afternoon, with fun activities for children etc so that kids can enjoy the space before it gets completely covered in dog crap. Do you know if any of the local papers know about this?

I've just come home with shit on my shoes from playing in the 'dog free' area. I think the fence should stay - it's not horrendous, it's not wince-worthy, and having an area where we can read the paper on a fine winter day, picnic in the summer and play safely with children surely is a necessity in an area where there are so many families? It's just a shame that there appear to be small-minded people who insist on letting their dogs walk in this area when the other side is perfectly feasible.
