Hello, I am interested to know people's opinion regarding dogs left tied up outside shops. As I am hoping most dog owners are aware of how high risk it is now for dog theft. People's houses are targeted for dog theft, even waiting to have a dog out in their back gardens, even for few minutes, to steal. This is a very common occurrence now, as is breaking into properties to steal dogs. The reasons behind dog theft varies, from using to breed, sell on, to use to sit whilst asking for money, (obviously not all people asking for money are dog thieves & may well own their own dog) and for dog bait for fighting. This is not me being a drama queen, it is there for anyone to research regarding dog theft. So would you leave your dog tied up outside a shop? -

I don't know if any of the cricket or tennis clubs also have little gyms. There are also pilates studios on Melbourne Grove, Blackwater St, North Cross Rd and even the community hall of the church on Calton Ave. The David Lloyd gym in Orpington is very luxurious and expensive. -

HI CPR Dave, I have to agree with Dogkennelhillbilly. We still have net migration into the country as per the Office of National Statistics- https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populationandmigration/internationalmigration It may go negative in a year or two if pundits specialising in this are correct, but it isn't yet. Hi Dogkennelhillbilly, I don't think your maths is correct. Southwark Council states total empty homes at 8,588 -https://southwarknews.co.uk/news/housing/southwark-has-over-8500-empty-homes/ the total number of homes is 135k. Which means 6.36% are empty. However, while canvassing came across an empty home which does not appear to have been appreciated by Southwark Council who are now investigating whether the empty Home Council Tax Premium should have been applied for the last 10+ years. It seems likely the 8,588 is under reporting the number of empty homes. Infill sites are defined by most public bodies was non strategic sites from a development perspective. The railway yard and other sites are in the Southwark strategic plans and thus would not be infill sites. Tall buildings planted into lower surrounding suburban areas is a subjective matter whether they are viewed as out of character for the area. It is factually true that I think they are out of character. Equally you have no qualms about such tall buildings being planted into the SE22 area.
