These spaces are not for people who can’t be bothered walking a little further to the shop or don’t want to get wet in the rain.

The worst offenders are those who have a baby car seat and no baby with them, but seem to think that the car seat makes it acceptable for them to park in the space and people with older children who are more than capable of getting out of a car door themselves.

I have confronted some of these offenders many a time and the abuse and ignorance is unbelievable. — Annoyed Mum.

I have to come home from work to find beer bottles, burned tinfoil and urine in my close.

On several occasions I have witnessed youths no older than 14 or 15 smoking heroin in my close. I have contacted Dundee City Council and the police on several occasions but the situation is getting worse. — Fed Up.

This can’t be safe as driving long hours you lose concentration. The casualty rate came down as a result in the mid-80s when tachographs were introduced on HGVs. — Ghost Rider.

The pet in question is a Golden Retriever, about seven-months-old. It has been left out in the back garden since it was around two-months-old, all day and all night, in all weather. The only shelter is a hedge.

It is terrified of the adults and hides if they come out. It is left without food or water for hours at a time.

I have withdrawn my monthly subscription to the SSPCA because of their inaction. — Paying Attention, Dundee.

[A spokesperson from the Scottish SPCA said, “The Animal Health and Welfare (Scotland) Act 2006 now enables Scottish SPCA Inspectors to take action if an animal is in a situation where it is likely to be caused harm.

“Prior to the new legislation being introduced, inspectors were required to wait until an animal was actually suffering before action could be taken.

“The situation described by the author of the letter, is certainly one where Scottish SPCA inspectors would now be able to act and this is why we need to be able to check the call. We need to be able to check that society staff received the same level of information when the call was first made and to also to be able to check what action was taken.

“Under the new legislation, inspectors can issue a welfare notice specifying that a certain course of action needs to be taken by a certain date. If this does not happen, officers can issue a mandatory Animal Care notice, which is a legal obligation to improve an animal’s situation.

“Failure to comply can result in charges being brought and the animal removed.

“Unless we are able to check the original call, we cannot be sure that Inspectors are not already taking action which may not be immediately visible to the complainer.

“Anyone telephoning the Scottish SPCA can be assured that their details will always remain confidential and if a caller leaves a name, they are then able to contact us again to find out the outcome of their complaint.

“There are various reasons why the society may not have been able to attend and this is why it is important that we are given more information in order to listen to the call again.

“Every year the Scottish SPCA receives around 100,000 calls from members of the public and last year, the Scotland-wide team of 50 inspectors, 15 ambulance drivers and eight auxiliary inspectors attended over 30,000 incidents of animal neglect, abandonment and injury.

“The staff who man the Animal Helpline number, frequently have problems identifying the location of an incident due to lack of information and if the caller has decided to remain anonymous, there is no telephone number in order to contact the caller to ask for more details.

“The society staff are ready to examine the details of the incident described again and would ask the caller to contact us.”]

My TV broke down on August 21. I phoned the company next day and after several phone calls I eventually managed to report it.

I was told an engineer would call within 24 hours. I then received another call, telling me because it was a bank holiday I would not get an engineer until August 30. I think this is very poor service. — Mrs Stewart.

[A spokesperson from Curry’s Customer Service Department said, “The customer has an old fashioned Coverplan Service Agreement for the product in question. It appears that she also has a newer set with WEH. Perhaps she is expecting the WEH terms for her old Coverplan Service Agreement?

“The service we have afforded is excellent. We were able to diagnose the problem without sending an engineer. The part to repair the set was ordered on the August 23, the day after the job was created, with an engineer repairing the set on the 30th.

“The tech guys class the part ordering as an engineer’s visit. We had six weeks to repair the set but did so well within this period.”]

Thank goodness we have Alex Salmond in power as I am confident he will rectify this vile tax. — Tax Paying Pensioner.

How they justify showing the England v. Israel game on BBC Scotland and not the Scotland v. Lithuania is beyond me.

It’s the same tonight, when they are not showing what is a crucial match against France. Someone has to give the Scottish Public an explanation. — Dim View.

She has cataracts and I’m unable to find a place that operates to solve the problem.

If anyone knows of any vet locally or anywhere in Scotland that will do this operation could you please contact me by email at charles_towns0306639@ yahoo.co.uk or phone 01382 509552. — Charlie, Dundee.

The dog is brindle colour with a white patch down his chest and is three-and-a-half years old.

My seven-year-old daughter is heart-broken as she was very close to the dog.

The dog has skin problems and needs treatment.

He also has a sensitive stomach and will become very sick if he is not fed the correct food.

I can be contacted on 01382 523748. — Rose Zielinski.
