Always been a lovely quiet street since I moved in. But in the last week there has been an innceaantly barking dog most nights somewhere nearby. Has anyone else heard it at night? And does anyone know exactly where it is so that I can report it?


Furthermore, a couple of lads on scooters (one on a small motorbike with a white helmet) have been using the street as a bit of a circuit of late. Has anyone also noticed this? Can anything be done about it? I feel like I'm going mad through lack of sleep!

Must be a different dog because this one was barking for about 3 hours solid last night and it's starting to drive me mad! I'm certainly not someone to complain over the small things and, as a dog owner myself, I'm all too aware that dogs bark. Happy to drop a note through a door before resorting to calling Noise Control or the police.


Re the scooters.. I've had messages from a couple of others saying that it's not just the noise, but the behaviour of the riders that have been causing problems so will definitely be phoning 101 next time.

RE: The scooters, the lads live on Playfield, Lytcott and Melbourne. They come out every summer to fix up and parade their scooters, however they are not out there til all hours of the night. Every year the same neighbours phone the police and make the same complaints - the police come round see they are lads hanging out not causing any trouble or damage and leave them to it. The Police have been around there twice this week alone and spoken with the boys... they are nice and polite boys who have all grown up around there. All it takes is for you to have a word with them if they are disturbing you.


No doubt the ones that have PM'd you are the said ones who are making the complaints, in which case they must be aware of how many times the police come and have a chat and laugh with the boys and leave them be.


I hope the issue with the barking dog is resolved, that would drive me mad.

    • You may have seen an article in the paper today about Jewish leaders and notables calling on the UN and world leaders to sanction Israel [https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/oct/22/jewish-notables-open-letter-un-sanction-israel], "... Prominent Jewish figures around the world are calling on the United Nations and world leaders to impose sanctions on Israel over what they describe as “unconscionable” actions amounting to genocide in Gaza. Over 450 signatories, including former Israeli officials, Oscar winners, authors and intellectuals have signed an open letter demanding accountability over Israel’s conduct in Gaza, the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. The letter’s release comes as EU leaders meet in Brussels on Thursday amid reports they plan to shelve proposals for sanctions over human rights violations. “We have not forgotten that so many of the laws, charters, and conventions established to safeguard and protect all human life were created in response to the Holocaust,” the signatories write. “Those safeguards have been relentlessly violated by Israel.” ..."   There is also a petition we can sign to support them in their call for justice: Direct link: https://secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/stand_with_jews_demand_action_loc_cp1/?tUwBCsb&v=502713833&cl=22394973010&_checksum=7dc99acb5dd4fc5a43a24e21772f51005ea239753e9ae3033d9f79ffd6119559 "For the first time since the ceasefire, a powerful coalition of Jewish voices have come together, urging world leaders to keep the pressure up until real accountability and freedom are achieved.Their call can shift the political mood and give leaders courage to act decisively -- Amplify their voices and stand with them: The demands of Global Jewish Voices: To respect and abide by the decisions of the International Court of Justice, noting their application also in the West Bank and East Jerusalem; to apply arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court; and to resist efforts to unduly pressure and influence and prevent the workings of both courts. To refuse any complicity in continued crimes and violations of international law against Palestinians by Israel, including by ending the provision of arms and other relevant goods and services; to use relevant leverage, including targeted sanctions on governmental bodies and individuals responsible for violations of international law, and suspension of relations with commercial entities contributing to these violations. To ensure that humanitarian assistance reaches all Palestinians in Gaza at the scale that is commensurate to their vital need, that the blockade is lifted and materials for reconstruction enter, and that there is a full Israeli military withdrawal. To refute false accusations of antisemitism that abusively deploy our collective history to tarnish those with whom we stand together in the pursuit of peace and justice. If you are of Jewish heritage you can also sign here, and we will add the number of your voices to support the Jewish call for justice. Posted: 22 October 2025"  
    • I've actually met Luke Johnson and he's actually a very amicable, witty and extremely clever man. He's also created thousands of jobs and generated millions and millions of pounds of tax revenue for the government, offering goods and hospitality that countless millions of people have enjoyed over the decades. I'm not a fan of Gail's but I'm also not a fan of people who knock down good guys that have contributed a huge amount to this country.  Anyway, French Patisseries and southern hemisphere coffee don't belong on Farmer's markets. 
    • What mandatory action would then be required of them?
