Cost of stray dogs

The request was successful.

Dear Gedling Borough Council,

I am contacting you to request the following information regarding
stray dogs.

1, Do you sanction the act of your dog warden/s (or any person
contracted to deal with stray dogs) to collect unwanted dogs from
the owners property (hand overs) as opposed to when they are
actually in the act of straying?

2, What was the cost of everything that covers dealing with stray
dogs for the financial year 2013 or (2013/2014)?

3, How much will the budget be for 2015? (or 2014/2015)?

4, Is the service contracted out and how long is the contract?

Yours faithfully,

Carla Bloomfield

Gedling Borough Council
