You will have to forgive me
I'm like a dog with a bone sometimes and all to often I'll bark without cause, but without wishing to offend, may I ask?
Is a comment made on a web site three years ago, current news?
Your article states categorically that;
“SEX-MAD couples are visiting a quiet Huncoat spot for the sordid act of "dogging", it was revealed this week”
What proof is there that doggers are currently active in the area?
Did you editor purposely seek to spice up a dull one column inch piece about HBC failure to place gate in an area to prevent Fly tipping?
Did or did not the police ask you not to report on the matters of doggers, if so, what guidance did they give and for what reason.
I have a large car park close to me, if I thought it was being used for the purpose of dogging I wouldn’t it across the front page of my local paper, mud stick’s. It stigmatises the area and may affect local property prices. People are also quick to point the finger, in particular Kids at people that live in such areas.
At the end of the day Vitty I am expressing my opinions on the matter and how it was reported. If I am wrong so be it, if these people come flocking back to Huncoat it would be because of what I have said.
Will the Police be expected to increase policing to calm local fears and protect residents from sexual activity between consenting adults? (That doesn’t mean I think its right) or will they be there to catch fly tippers until the gate goes up.
If in my interpretation of what I’ve read and responded too is misleading people, I will write a public apology in your letters page.
