Community Protection Notice served 29th January - DWAustin Legal Advice Team Kidderminster Magistrates Court    01562 514 000 - 3 - 2  Mam/Sir, Naim has just advised that I contact the Legal Advice Team to ask the question, can the appeal of my CPN be heard at Kidderminster? There is no reference number, but I have attached two images of the CPN, as suggested. Kidderminster is preferred for reasons of access, but I'm also concerned about the 'proximity' of Dudley Magistrates Court to the Council, in metaphorical rather than physical terms - my, that Borough is corrupt! In terms of the Requirements on Page One, not sure regarding the first as I'm just keen to report junk as it appears - perhaps too keen! Regarding the second Requirement, I wouldn't encourage any person to threaten any dog as the hound is not likely to understand and I wouldn't encourage any person to harm any dog as there are animal welfare considerations to be weighed; the Schedule of Incidents on Page Two shouldn't be taken literally but I would need evidence, possibly acceptable in photographic form, before monies can be exchanged - veterinary surgeons use techniques that 'despatch' dogs regularly and painlessly. Must observe that the official chasing the "individual" named in the CPN (yours truly) is Sophie Kendrick - a known cynophile! Just in case a hearing can be avoided at this early stage, I might as well declare my 'grounds' here: 1. My conduct has not had a "detrimental effect on the quality of life in the locality" - not everyone in the neighbourhood appreciates the activities of the local dogs and the guy to whom I sent the text, even, is not himself a dog-owner; my efforts may, quietly, be appreciated. 2. The conduct specified "is not unreasonable" - the Council is largely pro-dog, allowing these pets where they shouldn't (in shared accommodation) and will not take appropriate action (even refusing mediation); the stench can be 'quite powerful', the urine kills off swathes of the communal lawns, the barking renders civilised man a nervous wreck and the mess is all-over! To finish, I must also remark that there is a possibility that my neighbour (157 High Street DY9 8LT) may be acting, with the cognisance of Sophie Kendrick, in a provocative or antagonistic manner, his uncle was arrested a year ago, taken away by armed police - but his nephew now occupies 157, with the same dog, which latter is toileted underneath my kitchen window! Though the Police do not all approve of this disgusting activity, a Policeman or associate established the address at which my car happened to be registered, quite recently, charged up a drive in Norton, Stourbridge, and assaulted my brother!!!
