Hi all


I was asked to look into what the council can do regarding this and I am afraid that there is not much at all.


?Assessing, seizing and rescuing animals is beyond the councils remit as unfortunately we do not have any responsibility for animal welfare unless it relates to the following below. In this case it would be for the RSPCA to attend and assess the allegations.


The council has responsibility for:-

Animals kept in such a manner as to cause a statutory nuisance (barking dogs, odour of dung, fly infestations, etc.)

Licensing dangerous wild animals enclosures

Licensing commercial catteries and kennels

Fining people for letting their dog poop and not picking it up?


I hope that the matter is resolved informally with the business or, if necessary, with the RSPCA.


Best wishes

James

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
