  1. Does anyone have a neighbour with a teenager who plays drums (loudly) for a length of time; especially in the school holidays? Why not use 'electronic drums' with earphones? People are so unsociable when it is their child and assume everybody enjoys that child's freedom.
  2. The chances of getting a police presence, plain clothes or not, is very remote. I have thought of sending a map to Oswestry Police to remind them where Gobowen is. The only time I see a police car is when one officer visits his/her relative in Fairfield Cclose a few times a week - or is there a drug problem with the residents??
  3. Update. I have sent this link to the editor of The Roundabout requesting some support from the Parish Council in the form of an article. Hopefully this will be forthcoming.
  4. Hi C Thanks for your message and support. I hope with the input from the Council the problem may soon be sorted. There is no such thing as bad soldiers (dogs) only bad Generals (owners). Regards Geoff
  5. Hi Lee As people can use a pseudo or sign in anonymously, anonymity should not be a problem. My problem is with people that put a post here, to moan/complain/explain, and then not follow through but expect others to do it for them. There is strength in numbers. We should join forces and help each other.
  6. Oh Dear! i do feel alone as not even a single reply - is anyone following this?
  7. The story so far. One of my neighbours spoke to the main culprits in West Place about the nuisance of their dogs and for a week there was near silence. Prior to that happening I obtained a 'Monitoring Form' from the council. This duly arrived and was soon followed by a visit here by two council members on that team. They discussed the problem and went to the house to be aware of the location. At this time there was no perceived problem. On talking to the council people it was obvious that I am alone in taking this problem further as nobody else had applied for the paperwork. Why do people complain and then are not prepared to do any thing about it?! Since the passing of the above events the noise has returned to its previous levels. I am now monitoring the occurrences and intend to follow it up with the Council and hopefully get the problem stopped in any way possible. Am I still to be alone in this or are others in this area going to join me?
  8. Update 2..... The address and link below is where to get the 'Dog nuisance reporting pack' from - they also need the address of the culprits and your telephone number. I have emailed today for a pack with all the info required. Follow up will be forthcoming. Has anybody else sent for this pack? Oddly, and it is early days, the noise seems to have diminished a lot; is this a coincidence or have the culprits taken heed from somewhere? If you have not done so already, please send for the pack and follow it through. Comments anyone?

  9. Update.......... Thanks for all the replies and advice. I have sent for a 'Dog Nuisance' pack from Shropshire CC. As soon as it arrives I will monitor and report back to here and SCC. Is anyone else doing the same around here?
  10. Hi Newbies Above, This is good news - to have other people on board. One of my neighbours will join us, they are just in West Place and we are in St Martins Road. There may be others who will co-operate. I will pass on the contact information this WE and then we can get something going. I agree with all the sentiments above and strength in numbers is always good. Any body else known to any of us with the same feelings could, maybe, also join us. We should keep this thread going so we are all singing off the same hymn sheet. Maybe in a week or so we could get together and compare notes - again to ensure a common approach. Good to know I am not alone!!
  11. Thank you Carol - I shall follow this up with some other neighbours and see what happens.
  12. What can be done about dogs that are allowed to bark constantly. I live near a 'pack' of dogs that are in a cage and bark almost 24/7. The owners are known to be unapproachable and violent so nobody feels willing to speak to them. My other near neighbours are at their wits end over this. Any advice will be most welcome.
  13. Again, seeing the posts above; including mine, we have an absent police force in Gobowen - I wonder why we pay for them!!!
  14. OK, so 'bleat' is a bit OTT but if we want something soon we will have to compromise. The railway route i still think is not on, nice though it may be, because of the cost. The route is already there; which I have used many times, and needs sorting. The Sustainable Transport Group did not know about it when I mentioned it at their inaugural meeting - so no change there from the Shropshire lot! Poor research as usual. Let's push for a good upgrade on the existing route (bridge or not) and make that way more useable for cyclists and pedestrians.
  15. The comments continue about cycling to Oswestry. There is a Cycle/Pedestrian way to Oswestry already. It just needs upgrading and changing to one side of the road once over the A5. The cost and impracticality of a track along the railway is far outweighed by the above suggestion; which could be completed in a matter of weeks. You/we; the cyclists, cannot expect to never encounter a vehicle when out cycling, we have to all be in the same road ststem with improvements as and where possible. Perhaps if some pressure were to be put on the 'council' to sort the existing route this ongoing bleat will go away.
