Walking dogs in DE55, honestly.

Written dog walker to dog walker. This is the ground truth the apps and lead sites have never stood in — at six in the morning, in the rain.

The doors. Period houses and cottages in the middle of Alfreton, family estates around the edge, villages beyond — and dogs at every layer of it. In a town this size the pack IS the advert — the same five dogs crossing the middle of Alfreton at ten sharp does more than any leaflet ever will. Puppies follow moving vans as surely as spring follows winter, and this patch moves roughly 914 households in a normal year.

The parking. A van has an easy life in Alfreton — the only timing that matters is the old centre at its busiest. Only the middle of Alfreton asks for timing; the rest asks for a handbrake and a boot full of leads. Somewhere behind the name Cotes Park is the green that named it; a good walker knows by the end of week one whether this patch kept its space or walks out to find some.

The round. The round in DE55 works around Alfreton, Cotes Park, Lower Birchwood, Somercotes and Moorwood Moor. Around 24,008 households live here, and the ones who take a dog walker keep them — five days a week, term time and holidays, years on end. That's not a lead list — that's a round, built once and kept.
