Barking dogs

Residents of Albion St, Umina Beach, have petitioned council to assist with three barking dogs in their neighbourhood.

A petition with 17 signatures was received by council stating that the dogs were causing discomfort and disturbance to the immediate neighbours.

The petition stated that the dogs barked and yelped at a high level during the day and intermittently throughout the night.

The petition also stated that the property where the dogs live is surrounded by houses, villas and a retirement village and all residents were being affected by the noise.

The petitioners stated that they had approached the owners of the animals but had been met with "colourful abuse".
