[Brighton] Blakers Park Residents Getting Restless 😬

[AK74]

Anyway they’ll soon forget about their differences when it’s time to form an orderly line for the most overrated hot cross buns in England ( Ravens)

Currant affairs.

Are they suffering from "Close Encounters Of A Turd Kind" ?

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Who’s gonna enforce this, the Fi-Do?

paging @BrightonCottager for the inside line, i can almost imagine Ricky Gervais in the guise of his Afterlife character turning up for the Poop Scoop on this

I've not signed it yet, but I will be. Thank you for reminding me. The fenced off dog-free area in Blakers Park was quite small compared with the dog-accessible section. When Ms BC was a small child, I'd always take her to the dog-free section to demonstrate how Johnny Haynes would split defences with a 40 yard pinpoint pass.

Unfortunately, there are now too many lazy dogowners who don't pick up the shit or, if they do, drop it my bin to roast and fester for a few weeks.

And don't get me started on owners allowing their dogs to lick the bread in that even more overpriced Tin Pot Bakery.

It looks like a local school (not state) use that fenced off area for recreation

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Perfectly reasonable request. When I lived on Cleveland Road there was a dog free area. It's the same here in Queen's Park. Much less risk of folk's kids running around or having a picnic near a mad canine- or a steaming pile of doo doo that an owner can't be bothered to clean up. And even if they do, there's still remnants in the grass.

Why does this mutt-er so much to you?

It seems the natives are getting restless, the Dfl’s have moved into this fabulous corner of Fiveways ‘Village’ and want the Cockapoos off their lawn, but wait what will the other Dfl’s with dogs think, only one way to sort it out DOUBLE PETITION.

More than 1,300 people want to ban dogs from part of a popular park

More than 1,000 people have signed a petition to make part of a popular park dog-free again

I was going to ask what this has to do with dfls rather than the normal residents but forgot you were a bellend

Were?

Where as you ARE

The residents need to raise the issue with their local MP. Something something Early Day Motions

I am not a resident there but if I were, I'd be fingering a particular local councillor (short in both stature and integrity) to help solve this issue.

I'd be intent on him taking a 'hands on' role to solve the issue.

He'd first be inverted and then retro-fitted to a customised sack trolley. The face would be manipulated and manoeuvred to the 'down' position with the mouth part aimed as close to the ground as possible. A red button a-top of the said trolley would instigate an electric shock device fitted deep inside the councillor's anus. This would cause involuntary mouth opening followed (hopefully) by a powerful suction effect.

Residents could wheel him around the park, identifying brown disgrace. They'd then position the councillor trolley over the offending stink and he'd clean it up with the press of a button, a lick of the lips and a subsequent self satisfied gulp.

If said councillor was unwilling to partake in this somewhat novel version of civic duty, I'd counter to him that he is not much good for anything else and advise him to stand down.

Sounds like they'll make a dogs dinner out of it.

Well one of the three for that area is female so that leaves Mohammad or Bruno?

I said local, not that specific area.

Oh I see, him, I think he’s busy sorting out Westdene Boomers gardening waste collections and potholes in Valley Drive

This whole thread has gone to the dogs. There is way to save it doggy style.

“Dog free area”

They’re not that great at reading signs.

Probably the Montessori on c/o Cleveland &Stanford

Probably the Montessori on c/o Cleveland &Stanford

It closed this year.

One of these should do the trick

Yeah, I'm a long-time Fiveways resident (over 30 years) and I've signed it - and I'm a dog owner! The old system worked perfectly well, there was a fenced-off, dog-free area and a bigger bit where dogs were allowed. All people are asking for is for that to be re-instated. It's nothing to do with DFLs.

I'll take issue with one thing: I actually think there are far less 'lazy dogowners' than there were twenty five years ago when we got our first dog. In those days there was still a sizeable minority of 'old school' dog owners who had never picked up poo. They've largely disappeared. Sadly there is still a certain type of owner who won't pick up, the same sort who throw litter out of their car windows, and of course you only have to see one pile of poo to think that the whole country is, er, going to the dogs.

I suspect that sort of dog owner is not going to take much notice of 'dog free zones' if they don't already pick up their crap.
