Karrie, I don't understand. IF you think the authorities don't do enough, why have you sent it to the BBC, rather than the authorities you complain are not doing enough?

I'm sure Local News will make a fine fist of highlighting these important issues in a well-rounded fashion. You've definitely made the right decision in sending this footage of some poor nutcase in to the meeja.


I still think you've got a better chance with ITV though. Their requirements - to frame such behaviour within an acceptable moral framework in order to get it shown - are considerably lower.

Unfortunately, its close to normal behaviour on those buses (especially the 12). The criminal damage was out of order, but the shouts and threats happen every day - you see the bus stop and sit there until the perpetrator gets off and walks away. There is a lane police team who would be useful to contact - altough their thread says not to report crimes to them.

    • https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.          
    • Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
