Barking dogs upset neighbours

Barking dogs at two separate Umina properties have caused neighbours to complain to Gosford Council.

A petition with seven signatures was lodged complaining about a guard dog at a car yard at the corner of West and Rickard Sts, Umina.

The petitioners stated that since the festive season the dog has been left off the leash at night and ran up and down the fences "barking all night at anything".

The petitioners claimed that despite promises from the car yard's manager the dog had not been tied up at night.

A similar petition with 5 signatures was lodged from residents in Melbourne and Hobart Aves, Umina, about constantly barking dogs in Melbourne Ave.

The petitioners claimed that the dogs barked 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
