Sandy, my cinicism regarding the local council was over their methods of fair consultation and their ability to enforce any control orders that may be put in place as the numbers of Community Park wardens have now been reduced to just 12 for the entire borough (or so I've been told by a reliable source). However as you've mentioned the maintainance and preservation of the site, my opinion of the council in this too isn't high. The following quote suggests that OTH is neglected by the council and left to a few caring locals.
There is no workforce to "maintain" the site other than a community of local people who want to keep the facility, the couple of acres of woodland, on the hill
So SC's responsibility to their property can be left as a bureaucratic one only?
Kipya, I agree that there is basis for some level of concern, which is why my original post started with me stating that I'd support a limit to the numbers of commercially walked dogs. I also did not dismiss the fact that incidents happen and people do experience some level of harrassment. Again something that could be addressed by limiting of numbers. But I will stand by my statement that elements of hysteria and exageration will come into play. To quote myself 'packs of marauding hounds' as an example, but I know I'm not alone.
I agree there are concerns, but widespread?
