IN REFERENCE to proposed dog control orders on Corfe Mullen recreation ground, the recreation ground is for all – young, old, healthy, disabled, wheelchair users, everybody!

I strongly oppose the dogs on leads proposal.

I am a 63-year-old disabled woman, my husband works away at sea, I have a home carer and two 16-year-old rescue dogs.

I am unable to walk any distance and use a wheelchair.

My carer takes me to Corfe Mullen Rec not just to walk the dogs but to get me out of the house and meet other people.

I cannot use my wheelchair and have two dogs on leads, but my dogs walk beside me as they have been trained to do.

There are other elderly, disabled persons like myself with dogs who have to rely on walking aids.

The Rec is ideal as it is flat.

Walking dogs when you have disabilities is not easy – near impossible on uneven ground and dangerous with leads wrapping around you. Mrs AM MOSELEY, address supplied, Poole
