Walking dogs in IG2, 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. Most of IG2 is doorstep country: terraced runs and carved-up houses on tight pavements, ten pickups inside a few hundred yards. Conversion flats double the doors per building — and a dog walked well from one flat has a way of recruiting the dog upstairs. Stay-put streets, on the evidence — 196 completions in a whole recorded year — and a walker's Tuesday here can look the same for a decade, which is the good kind of same.

The parking. Kerbside terraces where the morning is decided by one parking spot — and behind every third door, a dog is waiting on it. Locals plan around bin day by instinct — which streets clear, which choke — and a walker's diary learns the same rhythm. Somewhere behind the name Newbury 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 IG2 works around Aldborough Hatch, Gants Hill and Newbury Park. Around 9,966 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.
