Does the Council deal with roaming dogs?
If we receive a report of a roaming dog, we will log it and when our dog wardens are in the area they will look around to see if they can find it. If the owner’s details are known, a letter can be sent out to the property warning them to keep a tighter control on their animal. In cases where the dog appears aggressive or is causing a nuisance, one of our dog wardens can visit the owner personally to advise them on their responsibility as a dog owner.
