The dog will need to be checked for a microchip by either a vet, at a dogs home or by the warden. If the dog has not been reported missing the dog warden will come and collect the dog from you during office hours.

The Council are able to investigate complaints of noise nuisance and advise on methods of reducing noise at source and take legal action to secure noise abatement.
