The ban comes after higher numbers of dog attacks are reported in Somerset this year.

    For everyone saying this seems random/odd/pointless/in response to some Karen etc:

    February 2023: Dog walker mauled to death by dogs at Surrey beauty spot

    The dog walker, from Croydon, died after suffering massive blood loss caused by multiple bites to the neck in Gravelly Hill, Caterham, on January 12, while she was out with eight dogs.

    Which I suspect may have some bearing on this announcement.

      That was Surrey. This is North Somerset.

        Ah, I forgot that councillors don’t read newspapers. There’s no way a councillor in North Somerset could have been aware of this attack in Surrey, as reported in the national papers.

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
