There's been a letter to the local paper concerning our gathering last month and the person said they felt intimidated by the greyhounds around the cafe We all know what wonderful dogs they are but I guess for a non dog lover it could be disconcerting. I'm replying to the letter and also going to try and liaise with with rangers about how we can be more mindful. The park has definitely changed from a quiet dog walkers haven to a childrens adventure park and the emphasis has shifted to families. I think we need to take this into mind when we're standing around as a group and try not to take over a particular area. I did notice last walk that because we were all desperately hogging the shade we did tend to block the cafe entrance, not good Having said that we have as much right as anyone else to be there as we've paid our £2. Update 4 June 2008, I had a very nice conversation with the ranger today and he's delighted to have us at the park and stipulated that we have as much right to be there as any one else. He's suggested we might want to gather down by the climbing wall where there might be more shade and we're welcome to put a awning or some such up to give the dogs more shade

A heads up for those who park at the local Tesco store carpark when attending our Braintree walk.
Tesco at Great Notley have installed Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras at the entrance to their carpark to record when you arrived and leave. There is now a 3 hour parking limit at the store, with a £70 fine if you go over the time allowance.
Tesco - Very Little Helps

Just had a chat with one of the Rangers at Gt Notley CP - one of the subjects was the current decrease in carpark charge.
The car park charge has been decreased to £2.00 per day until April, at which point it'll revert back to £3.00
