    Sensibly priced vets.

    Is there one in Stafford or in the local area? Having spent £1000 for skin and blood tests I'm feeling like the vets are being way too thorough to give themselves some work. A £70 blood test could have confirmed my dogs Leish positivity. Going forward my dog is going to need a blood test every...

    Brocton buildings.

    I'm guessing former army buildings, but just up the track from this pull in there's some concrete structures. What was there before? https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.7710369,-2.0442807,3a,75y,213.75h,86.18t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sfGB5NptY2CIw8kxO18m_PA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192 Picture of some of them...

    Wanted Builder to create doorway

    I fancy having a doorway from the hall into the garage. Anyone had this done, idea of cost and someone to recommend? It's a cavity wall property.

    The Quarry Car Park.

    Can't say I've ever seen this open, why was it closed? https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@52.7691265,-2.0415092,3a,75y,110.94h,71t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sBRautJT-wlYJXB-tCXJQrg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

    Fireworks.

    Who is letting them off in the Weeping Cross/Baswich area? not even dark enough to see them!

    Burning stuff.

    Why do so many people burn rubbish in their garden? especially this time of year when people have windows open. Inconsiderate and not good for the environment either. I know sometimes the burning smell is due to chase fires but not always.

    [cancelled] Stafford Great Global Greyhound Walk 25th September.

    I've mentioned it in a post before. But I've registered a Stafford walk for the Great Global Greyhound walk on 25th Sept. This is the event link: https://www.greatglobalgreyhoundwalk.co.uk/walks/england-staffordshire-stafford/ Plus there's a facebook event...

    Loud bangs.

    Just gone to walk my dog over Wildwood park and a huge bang went off. I keep complaining to Stafford environmental health but they seem to be ignoring me after initially responding to me. It has been badly set up bird scarers but given the fields seem to be all green shoots now I can't think it...

    Where's all the gingers?

    No not redheads but the rental escooters? they've all vanished and their website has Stafford on the map but not in the detail section.

    Electric off-road skateboards over Cannock Chase.

    Are they legal over there? saw two guys on them this morning, one was recording 360 footage. Personally I think the last thing we need is loads of idiots racing around the chase on electric vehicles, they can be as fast as motorcycles.

    Scrotes on mountain bikes

    Just a warning. I was just walking my dog and parked up along Old Croft Road and two youths wearing masks (not so suspicious right now is it?) dressed all in black on black full suspension mountain bikes were looking through the window of my car (presumably for valuables). They came out of the...

    Greyhound or Sighthound owners.

    Having adopted a rescued greyhound in October I wondered if there were others who would meet up for walks? There are events I go to already, but they're once or twice a month. My dog could do with some socialising and a more confident dog to walk with as I'm having trouble with him getting...

    Firework free zone?

    Adopted a rescue greyhound and he's getting very stressed out at the fireworks so far. Wondered if there was somewhere quiet I could spend the evening with him when it gets even worse? I don't have my own underground bunker or cellar.

    Police at Queens shopping centre on Saturday evening

    Something big seemed to be going down. Lots of Police, police dogs etc. I saw a van or two surrounded by Police cars on the entrance slip road to the Queens shopping centre. Anyone know what went down?

    Bl**dy fireworks

    Second night in a row I've been subjected to fireworks around 10pm. Who is having these displays and why have them so late? In this crazy hot weather people have their windows open, often still open when they sleep and the noise is much worse as a result.

    Weeping Cross Racetrack

    At least that what it sounds like on an evening. A load of yobbos on motorcycles somewhere around the area. I can't be the only person to notice all these idiots racing around the roads?

    Dangerous pedestrian crossing

    Has anyone ever been run over or had a near miss at the pedestrian crossing near the old Lloyds Bank (near the Hough retail park)? Only it is a really badly designed crossing, there's only traffic flow signals on the one side, meaning people who rather naughtily wait in the yellow box and then...

    Housing development near Acton Hill Lane

    An orange planning application document has appeared on some posts near me. It mentions a major development, presumably on fields between Acton Hill Lane and Hazelstrine Lane. Importantly this is listed as a "departure from the local plan"? I couldn't see any other thread about it...

    Cycling on public footpaths

    Hi all, Cycling on public footpaths is not permitted, except if the local council has a bylaw permitting it. Is this the case for Stafford? I had to stop and move my dogs out of the way of two mountain bikers on a footpath near me and rather than thank me, they expected me to thank them. Now...
