Stallholder portrait - Debbie's Dog Treats

Thames Market

Debbie’s stall is quite the opposite of a dog’s breakfast – all the delicacies for the town’s pooches are neatly aligned and labelled.

Her love of dogs got her to find the Dog Treats she is selling on Thames Market. “I started buying seconds, things that might end up as waste but are gourmet food” for any canine. The treats, venison ears, wind pipes etc., are smoked, and dried, and packed in “fully compostable packaging, made from corn starch”. The packaging has another advantage. “If the dogs get into the cupboard to steel treats, they won’t choke” because the packaging material will just dissolve in their mouth. Debbie’s stall is a magnet for dog lovers also for another reason – her three-legged rescued dog Tessa. After an accident one front leg had to be amputated but that didn’t change Tessa’s friendly nature – she likes people and people like her. “She is quite famous and some people come especially to say hello to her”, says Debbie.

Do you support the teachers' strike?

Hi neighbours,

Do you think primary teachers and principals should be striking? Thousands of teachers have taken industrial action on Wednesday, with dozens of rallies planned around the country. They aim to gain attention for better pay, conditions and incentives to attract new teachers. Although about 30,000 people in the profession are involved in the strike, not everyone agrees with it.

So, what are your thoughts on the strike? Do you think teachers deserve better pay? Or should they have stayed around the negotiating table for longer? Are you a teacher or parent with views on the topic? Let us know in the replies!
