THE number of times I have rung the council to sort the barking dogs out at Clifton Moor is unreal.

They have not tried to help prevent dog owners from leaving their dogs outside while they go to work. These dogs bark all day. Some of these owners don’t even go to work and every now and then you hear the words “Shut up”, but the barking resumes two minutes later.

I have written to the owners and the council, but the council is too busy. Whoever it is, shut your dog up.
