Dog control order consultation

Those attending last night's Parish Council meeting listened to a presentation by Crewe & Nantwich Borough Council's Keith Davies and his colleague on dog control measures which have been put out for consultation within the whole of the borough.

Full details of the proposals are available at Crewe & Nantwich Borough Council (The website link that was here no longer works) . Follow the links via Your Council/Consultation/Current Consultations/Dog Control to read a summary of the main proposals and the full document.

Many of the proposals being put forward make good sense, like the need to exclude dogs from marked playing pitches and enclosed children's play areas. However, those at the meeting were concerned about the suggestion that dogs should be kept on the lead at all times on land owned by British Waterways ie the canal towpaths. It was felt that this was an unnecessary and unworkable restriction.

Do read the proposals in full and send your views in writing to Jan Griffiths, Business Manager Enforcement, marked Dog Control Orders at Crewe & Nantwich Borough Council, Pyms Lane Depot, Pyms Lane, Crewe, Cheshire CW1 3PJ or by email addressed to jan.Griffiths@crewe-nantwich.gov.uk">jan.Griffiths@crewe-nantwich.gov.uk. Please note that the closing date for this consultation exercise is 26th January 2007.
