Public Question to the Cabinet Member for Enforcement and Safer Communities from Justin Hinchcliffe:

Is She aware of the policy of Conservative-run Wandsworth Council, with Labour support there, to introduce compulsory dog chipping? Both parties in that Authority believe it will curb the number of stray, neglected, dangerous and stolen dogs. Owners who refuse to comply may be fined and may lose their right to keep their pet. This scheme is also supported by the National Dogs Trust.  Will  She have a look at this policy with an open mind and consider following Wandsworth's excellent lead, which I believe will be supported by the majority of our residents from across the borough?
