Animal welfare events - community engagement

 Each year the council’s animal welfare team works alongside animal welfare organisations and key stakeholders to promote responsible pet ownership and animal welfare standards. These are often in our open spaces, Royal Parks, or occasionally inside communal housing areas.

These events allow officers to meet local residents and discuss any issues they may have. They also enable officers to facilitate and signpost local services that provide subsidised support for resident pet owners. Since 2016, we have microchipped over 200 dogs for residents, and this is a free service the council continues to provide.
