Re: Dog Barking - Beverton
I found online a 'Bark Control' Device. Its for training dogs. Basically it emits a high frequency noise, only audible to our canine friends. Its only triggered when the dog barks, thus the dog learns that barking will illicit the unpleasant noise & thus the dog stops barking. For best results i...

Re: New arrivals
Good Man Mr. Stupid. There was a case a few years back, where a land owner was getting objections to planning permission. He gave access to the travelling community. The objections where withdrawn. I'll assume, since you didn't answer, that you do feel more entitled to a swimming pool within 5 minut...

Re: Planning Portrane Road
Hi Steve, had a look at this. 1) They are houses, much like the surrounding properties? 2) The "Lethal" description of the exit is nonsense. 3) This cut and paste thing is probably your best bet for an objection. Some may see it as grasping at straws though. I find, using a fair and open m...

Re: New Social Housing
Not sure.. I believe it used to be one in twelve new homes had to be social & affordable.
What always struck me is, if a proportion of houses are social & affordable, does that mean the rest are anti-social & unaffordable

A taxi man passed him looked in, thought something looked odd, drove around the block again to get back to him, and assisted him. Too late in the en...

Re: A few hundred new homes
400 new homes... 1200 (estimate) new people. Say 200 new adults maybe 150 of whom will work (yes stay at home parents work a tough job but these are excluded) Some may work from home. Some may not work 9-5 So a conservative estimate = 100 additional adults working 9-5ish, some travel by train, some ...

Absolutely no doubt that the health system in this country requires extreme improvements. But guess what, there is another problem… the population.

Re: Beverton - Fireplaces suitable for Open Fire?
If you see a chimney on your roof, then you should be fine. You might want to look into a wood burner. The problem with open fires is they draw air from the room & up through the roof. Consider the fact that during the winter you are paying to heat this air that escaped through your chimney. Woo...
