SIR — The Watchet Dog Owners Forum is issuing a rallying call to all dog owners in Watchet to come forward and make their feelings known in writing to Watchet Town Council with regard to the potential Dog Exclusion Order on the Memorial Ground in Watchet.

The people have until September 27 to have their say on this issue - if you do not do it now there is the possibility of a total dog ban on 98 per cent of the ground.

The notice from the council was issued in the Free Press of August 31 and is just another tactic from the council and memorial ground committee to edge out legitimate use of the memorial ground by its residents.

The dog ban is not necessary, the ground's dog walkers are self policing and are steadfast in not letting the sports clubs hog the whole ground for themselves. It's just not fair!

This may be your last chance to make your voice heard. Write now!

Sara Summers,

Watchet Dog Owners Forum.
