I do welcome the consultation,do you have a date in October? However Im a bit surprised by the damage to the grass, Im sorry maybe Im myopic but the central area I meditate in, I see no damage there? No change in the last eight years. I do find disturbing the burnt out household items, mopeds, broken bottles and remains of barbecues and picnics?

As for commercial dog walkers, I do see them, they are all pleasent and responsible, certainly kept the drug dealers away! and the fighting dogs which used to happen. A limit should be set, maximum of four dogs per dog walker?

I just wish to see a balanced discussion maybe with the dog walkers and commercial ones?

To play devils advocate, why not utilise commercial dog walkers rather than vilify them. Ask the council to instigate a license for them, they need to wear a bib or whatever with their license number on it, so there is countability for not picking up pooh. They need to report back to community wardens, because it seems to me they are there, more than anyone,highlighting any vandalism etc .They also have to pick up dog mess when requested by members of the public. Then you have control over them and a group that works with rather than against One Tree Hill, a thought?
