thewatchtower (jehova witnesses)
I have just heard the voice of the late great Bruce.Looking for some sensible advice please.
Where I live (Countyside) we have been blighted by "Doggers" - people who enjoy having sex in a public place - usually n the hope that others will either watch them or join in.
This is not some "age of aquairius love in" with young couples taking advantage of a quiet country lane. The overwhelming majority of these people are adult males who seem absolutely delighted to be viewed in their group activities.
Recently the problem has got considerably worse. With large groups congregating in the single track lane (up to eight cars at any time) and advertising with directions on the internet.
The filth that they happily leave behind includes:
Human excrement.
Syringes
Latex gloves
Pornography
Soiled underwear.
The police seem powerless or unlwilling to take any action. Local officers are appalled at what they witness. But tell me that their superiors have stopped them wriying to the registered keeprs of the cars that are parked.
The doggers (if stopped) have read up on the law. They will happily tell you that "they are on private land" (it is a nature reserve). The owners of the nature reserve default back to the police.
The Parish Council think that the whole issue is a big joke. It is not on their doorstep.
I have two young school age girls. We now cannot allow them out explore the nature reserve that we bought out house next too so that they could grow up in the countryside.
I have been threathened (as have my neighbours) abused. We have had excerment thrown or dumped in our front garden (after we wrote to the local news paper)
The Police have advised me not to take any direct action.
We are now looking to try and sell our home but have little hope as the area has been bacoe known as a dogging spot.
Has anybody suffered from this? or been able to put a stop to it?
I am looking for helpful answers please. Please believe me any humor I may have found in this has long since gone.
Bruce
I just read this post. It must have been Bruce talking on the documentary. So strange that I never met Bruce or even spoke to him but I immediately and instinctively knew it was him. Our minds are quite incredible things.Hello,
Apologies for contacting you like this, but after reading your messages I couldn't help but get in touch.
I am posting from a London-based documentary company. We're currently making a film which explores the British phenomenon of dogging, and we're very keen to speak to people who have been effected by the activity in the local communities in which it occurs. I was fascinated to read your thread, it's clear that your dedication to making change in your area has paid off and that you are not alone in your concern about this issue.
I was if wondering brucemillar, developer215 or anyone who has been affected by these issues might consider speaking to me about their experiences and actions and the changes that have been enforced as a result? This would be purely for research and entirely confidential - we are so keen to hear from people whom dogging has effected first hand and so I would love to get the opportunity to talk to you.
You can reach me on [email protected] or 0207 078 8163.
I hope to hear from you soon.
All the best,
Hannah
