Tiny Timmy a blind Yorkshire Terrier needs a home

Meet Tiny Timmy, a little 12 year old Yorkshire Terrier who was abandoned at a vets surgery. All Dogs Matter think that he might have been left there because he is blind and pretty much deaf. His hair was matted, his eyes had thick gunk stuck in them and his nails were overgrown. Timmy enjoys being outside and although he was a little stressed when he first arrived in his temporary foster home, he is now making the most of his new garden!  He sleeps well through the night and loves his bed!  He…

Rescued Kittens needing homes

Stokey Cats and Dogs have seven rescued kittens looking for homes. They are 9 weeks old. It is better for kittens to be rehomed in pairs. They must be neutered by 5 months old and need to be initially kept indoors only until they have been neutered, microchipped and big enough to then have catflap access to back garden. They need permanent homes - as you know, the life span of a cat is approximately 20 years. Please get in touch with Stokey Cats and Dogs if you are interested in adopting…

Development of Crescent Mews please comment...

Posted by Birgitte Laursen-Jones on July 21, 2017 at 8:14pm

The average size of the flats are below the recommended minimum size. The site had been partitioned into 4 sections this is just the first stage.

For anyone living on or near Crescent Road/Alexandra Park Road junction the increase in traffic to access the site will be another concern. The proposal is for a car free…
