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

    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous.
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
    • if I think of Corbyn dealing with a global pandemic (a lot of his supporters and some of his family come from the woo end of the spectrum - his brother is a proper anti-vax nut), then the  invasion of Ukraine (Corbyn long record of not exactly condemning Putin even as he killed people on British soil and many other matters, I  really do shudder
