More dog problems

Dogs are still high on the agenda after a parishioner last week reported troubling dog activity in the rec. We understand that a dog attacked someone who will not go to the police. This is very worrying as it means there is a danger of a repeat incident. The parish council contacted CBC but we have been told the dog warden would not be able to become involved.

"Our dog warden team only deal with issues of dog barking, fouling and stray dogs, and are not equipped to deal with issues of dangerous dogs, and the dog warden would be unable to make a visit to the resident for this reason. It would be best for the resident to contact the police, especially if they may feel intimidated or harassed."



So we are back to complaints and police. Parish councillors are now considering some sort of campaign from information and publicity to handing out leaflets at 7 am  to the village's dog walkers. Watch this space and contact the Parish Council or parishmatters if you have information or views.

PS apologies to all responsible dog owners and friendly well behaved hounds in the village. Pity about the 0.5 per cent.
