When Labour was in the majority on Erewash Borough Council we were concerned about the number of stray dogs that roamed our neighbourhoods. In response we set up a "chipping" service to enable re-location of lost dogs and took on two Dog Wardens. The Dog Wardens were quite effective and dogs were caught and re-homed or taken to a place of safety.

When the Tories took over the Council it wasn't long before they dispensed with Dog Wardens altogether. However they relented after a time and appointed one Warden to replace the previous two. A step in the right direction but not sufficient to cover the whole of Erewash. Recently the problem of stray dogs seems to be re-occurring and dog fouling is on the increase. It's about time Erewash reviewed their dog control measures particularly with regard to dog fouling with the aim of making Erewash streets safer to walk on.
