Dangerous dogs

It’s against the law to let a dog be dangerously out of control anywhere.

Lost and found dogs

We have a duty under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (section 149) to collect and detain stray dogs.

Dead animals

We will remove most dead animals, both domestic and wild, from public roads and council-owned land. If the dead animal is obstructing the highway, please call 101.

Animal Welfare Act 2006

Different animals have different needs, but all reasonable steps must be taken to provide the most basic care to them all.

Animal Welfare Regulations 2018

If you run an animal-related business or want to set one up, you will need to be licensed under the Animal Welfare Regulations 2018.
