QUITE agree with the person who wrote to you "please clean up after your dogs."

Birkenhead Park is, indeed, a lovely place.

It's lovely to see young people with babies and toddlers strolling around the lakes.

It's nice to see sensible dog-owners who keep their pets on the leash.

Dogs get the same exercise on leash as off leash, but I have recently seen wet dogs who have been for a swim in the lakes and you dare not ask why the dog is wet for fear of verbal abuse.

We have lost our swans and cygnets for some reason.

The tranquility of Birkenhead Park is being disturbed by a thoughtless few.
