I WAS pleased to see that the children's play area in the little park near the Lidl supermarket, Accrington, had been renovated and made an enclosed area.

However, due to the irresponsible people who take their dogs in there, I shall not be taking my two-year-old grandson or the new baby there.

Shame for them. But shame on those people like the lady who told me that their dog only did his business in their garden; the lady who took six new puppies in there to run around and the child who put her Christmas present puppy on the swing. All this within half an hour.

I left with my grandson crying to go on the swing.
