Following on from the articles on community below - here's something that is already happening spontaneously :
The neighbourhood dogs have been showing us how to enjoy life, socialise, have disagreements, tease and generally . . . live.
People are meeting up with others to benefit from 'Dog Classes' in Ford Park Central Ulverston - classes where dogs teach us a thing or two!
This has been the chance meeting of six or more dogs in the park over the last few Saturday mornings at around 9.30pm
See the video on Youtube which illustrates how much the dogs enjoyed themselves.
The dogs clearly loved it and their owners had a good chat!
It appears that dogs have been given a negative press with the Ford Park management though from my experience the dog owners featured in this video have left the Park better than when they found it!
No dog fouling is tolerated and litter and stones , left there by others, are often cleared away.
I would hope that Ford Park will come up with a scheme by which those enjoying the facilities that are there, can contribute towards the £12 per day cost of keeping the grass cut. Funding for this community land and buildings could well dry up some time in the future and it would be good for it to be able to stay independent of SLDC and local government.
