Dear Axbridge Town Clerk
Photo extract from the latest "Oyez" Axbridge Council Newletter.....
I just wondered what is this fascination with dog turds?
I've lived in Axbridge for about 10 years, so I'm very much an incomer to this area.
However, in my experience it's quite rare to spot a dog in Axbridge, let alone
any evidence of a marauding pack of diarrheic Alsations.
Yet, month after month, the Oyez newsletter goes on about turds.
And a few months ago, the Mayor Albone was in charge of a stand in the
town square, filled with children's paintings ramming home a message...
Pick them up.... Or Else...
If you look around Winscombe right now, the whole village is filled with
these childrens' paintings, threats and all. Up by the former station, on just
about every lamp-post, in most shop windows, on walls. Everywhere.
In fact, in my opinion, the biggest source of mess in the village.. is the notices
themselves.
I just wondered who exactly has an agenda here, and who is pushing it ?
In my opinion, it's one thing to try to raise kids to have an awareness of right and
wrong, and to be responsible. It's another thing completely when children are
used to promote agendas, and substitute as some kind of local police.
Or is it all a diversion from other things...?
