Our Gaydon Coppice dog walking field used to brim with life and joy. Over time, this field has become more than just a place for dogs to roam; it has turned into a gathering spot for our vibrant community. Local residents, their families, and their beloved dogs convene here to share experiences, have conversations, and create bonds amid the backdrop of children's play equipment and the budding new allotments. Dog training classes contributing to the welfare of our pets, held here, wove threads of unity among us.

However, this spirit of community cohesion that we so cherished has been interrupted abruptly. Trust Green has erected a 'No Dogs' sign, effectively ceasing all the activities we held dear. This decision heavily impacts the lifestyle of residents, cutting off their access to a cherished community space and putting a damper on the quality of life for their dogs. We have few other areas that are quite so dog friendly.

In the pursuit of accurate understanding and adequate resolution of this issue, we urge the authorities to formally record the number of residents affected by Trust Green's decision. This will not only reflect the magnitude of the disruption caused but also emphasize the importance of the field to the community.

Your signature can help bring attention to this matter and call our community leaders to action. Sign this petition if you're affected or if you believe in the power of community spaces like our Gaydon Coppice dog walking field.

We believe that a low fence between the children's play equipment and the dog field could easily resolve this issue, but Trust Green - the company we are paying to manage our greenspaces - have so far shown no interest in exploring this issue, despite repeated and vocal calls from the community who use the space.
