I LIVE in Sutton Leach and I am sure that like me lots of people enjoy sitting in the garden when the sun shines!


But lately, every time the sun’s been out so have the dogs from 8am and most of the day. 


For some reason people in Sutton Leach think it is OK to leave their dogs in the garden barking constantly all day long.


Some are even sat in the house whilst this is happening and they don’t call them in.


We have a dog ourselves and I would never leave him out all day in the sun or let him constantly bark whilst I was at home. 


I must say, however, there is one lady at the back who always shouts and calls her dog in when it starts barking.


It’s a pity her neighbours didn’t do the same!


Please don’t let your barking dogs spoil it for everyone over summer. Have some consideration for your neighbours please.

That’s all I ask.
