Why on Earth would the town have taken down the signs? Makes no sense. Now we've lost two more beautiful swans plus the cygnets due to foxes. Isn't there something that can be done to protect these precious creatures? Not only should the owners of the dogs be fined to replace the adults, but they should have their dogs put down and not be allowed future dogs. I have two dogs myself and they are ...
Info: am told that the first lawn working party will be held back end of next week. What I/we still don't know is; 1. Which councillors are on this working party and how many councillors? 2. How many (non councillors) have expressed a wish to sit on it? 3. If more non councillors wish to be on this working party than there are places, how will the councillors decide who should be on ...

The lady on Facebook said they didn't recognise the owner I think but the dog was a staffie called Dougie. She's asked for people to ask around to see if they know who it is.
I trust that the owners of the dogs concerned will be prosecuted for having a dog that’s out of control - after all, if it can attack a swan, it can attack a child. They should also be fined heavily and the money used to purchase replacements. There is also a case to be made for them being banned from ever owning another animal of any kind.
Completely agree with the sentiments expressed in both posts above. Sad news about our beloved swans - what is the matter with people who think that letting their dogs run riot is acceptable??
There should be a total ban on dogs using The Lawns. The poster who complained about signs was if i remember correctly from Brixam and a dog owner and was put out because she couldnt let her dog of the lead so i hope she reads this post and reflects on her actions.
