why is the community targeting dog owners

as far as i know at least half the population on this urbanization are dog owners, that took either a tenancy or bought on the understanding that there was public access to the open land at the back of block 12.

now without any consultation (as far as i am aware ) they decided to block that access off. i actually live in block 12 so when dog owners bring their dogs upto the now locked gate, soon to NEW extra high locked gate they cant get any further so they let their dog do their business and walk off. now before you think im moaning i too am a dog owner caught in the same dilemma as others. by the way it does stink.

would it not be a better idea to use the time and money that is being used for the new fence,  to finish the jobs around the estate such as 2 swimming pool that are the frogs best pick up point, they're actually better than the couple used by humans and the gardener has the best job in the world as only a small proportion is landscaped. then there is the ongoing drama of the drains in block 12 or lack of that the communnty has known about for the past god knows how long.

all the trouble for the dog owners has been caused by 1 person who has a holiday home in block 12 who comes out occaisionally for a week at a time. i think he and the president are ...........well you know what i mean.

and for my final rant does anybody know any other development where the presidents email is a mystery as i thought part of their job is to talk to residents and help solve their frustations

 I understand that dogs need to be walked, ideally on leads, and as long owners collect there bits there would have been no problem with any owners I feel. I would have expected that dog owners would have displayed how good they can be during this lengthy debate both on the community forum and at the latest EGM, but it hasn't happened. We should all want to live in a clean and smell free enviroment but because Block 12 suffers the most from this, I agree that the fence should be built and the problem will be sorted immediately. Dog owners have alternative access to the hills and the extra walk should be good for both dog and owner.

The development has more pressing issues with debt and drains to sort as a priority. Stop whinging and try contributing to the improvement in Las Palmeras.
