Dog Control Orders Consultation - Public Meeting

We have received the following information about a Public Meeting with regards to the Dog Control Orders by Ann Darnell of Corfe Mullen Dog Walkers. Tricks 4 Treats ran a petition last year against this Dog Control Order (see the Potential Dog Control Order on Corfe Mullen Recreation Ground news item on 3rd September 2009) and it would be great if you can spare the time to attend the meeting to lend your support.

As well as discussing the proposed Dog Control Orders for Corfe Mullen, this meeting will also be discussing the Dog Control Orders for Fryers Field in West Moors, Ferndown School and King George's V Playing Fields.

Date: 7pm, 30th March 2010
Venue: Allendale Community Centre, Wimborne
Agenda: Discussion of Proposed Dog Control Orders

Please inform any of your friends and acquaintances, who may not have access to email, about this meeting.

I would urge as many of you as possible to attend as it will probably be our last chance to register the strength of our opposition to the Dog
Control Order proposals.

I have been invited to speak on behalf Corfe Mullen Dog Walkers and I will base my case on the points made in our submission to East Dorset
District Council of 8th October 2009 (a PDF of the letter can be downloaded from this site).

If anyone can think of any other strong points to support our case, please let me know, either by email or by telephone.

I understand that the supporters of the proposed dog control orders have also been invited to speak at this meeting, which will be attended by a
number of East Dorset District and Corfe Mullen Parish Councillors.

Thank you for your support.

Regards,

Ann Darnell
