In today’s North Wales Weekly News there is a totally biased article with comments from Phil Edwards, of course not linked to his support for plans to put livestock on the Bryn! The I walk the Bryn twice daily and it is not that bad, I’ve just walked down Dinerth Road and seen two piles of dog poo, this is a universal problem, no worse at the Bryn than other places, considering the number of dogs that go there. I’ve never seen these places where ‘the air is thick flies and the stench of dog mess’, if you want to see flies and smells wait until you get livestock and manure there! Pauline Jones is totally deluded to say ‘nobody clears up’, I and the 40 or 50 dog owners I know all do, such exaggeration does her no credit.

I have just seen the article in the North Wales News, supported by comments from Phil Edwards of Plaid Cymru.We all know this article is a huge exaggeration and would do credit to the tabloids!!It is strange that after my neighbours and I walking the Bryn for 60 years in some cases, the dog mess issue should suddenly become news, could there be some ulterior motive?I only hope that come election time people will remember who supported them, rather than a few patches of grass.

Having read the article in the weekly news titled ‘Beautiful nature reserve blighted by dog mess’ the only word that sprang to mind seeing the smiling face of a well known councillor was ‘vindictive’. It made the area sound like an open toilet, which it most certainly isn’t. Yes the field at the bottom is used by people who sit in their cars and just open the door for their dogs to relieve themselves before driving away again. I personally haven’t seen a dog warden for months. The rest of the Bryn certainly is not as described. Also excuse me P Jones saying “it is awful nobody clears up after each other”, well yes actually they do. I noticed a pile on the drive of the house up there and removed it to the nearby bin. Likewise when I see piles on the paths and pavements. Instead of moaning to the papers why don’t you do something about is yourself. Why do people expect someone else to act for them, moaning about litter, dog mess etc, while not lifting a finger to do anything about it?The soon to be formalised Bryn Euryn Users Ass will promote responsable desposal of dog waste to all our members and encourage others to do likewise. It is obvious by the level of use of the bins and numbers of people carrying bags, that yet again it is the minority giving us all a bad name. God help us if they introduce grazing because then the whingers will really know what stench and flies are all about. What next, all dogs on leads or a total ban. It would appear that some people will not tolerate any opposition to their cosy little plans and set out to punish those who try to put forward a different point of view.
