    A dog warden can act if the dog is dangerously uncontrolled even if it is private land. Scroll down to section 3.

    what if you were to go through the gate and the dogs got out before you could lock it again (maybe if you dropped a biscuit or something just outside) then go and knock on the door and tell them. after the 3rd, 4th ,5th time i reckon they'd get the message.
    the nappies i think i would just kick it back into their garden through the hole in the fence.:o
    That had actually crossed my mind! But these dogs are big muscular male staffies with huge evidence of non castration...!

    If they "accidentally" got out into the road, they could hurt someone.

    The dogs are not under the owners control and running in a public area, ie. the lane used by the other residents. The Dog Warden should take action.

    I'd just start leaving the gate open. Not your job to be keeping them locked in.

    Or caused a car accident and killed someone!

    Two wrongs don't make a right in these circumstances - the owners are irresponsible - don't stoop to their level! Report it to the property authorities, and keep doing so until they take action. What the h£ll do we pay our Council Tax for?!?!?!?!?!

    As this is a right of way for all residents the dogs are not allowed to run free,so Dog Warden. The nappies is a fly tipping offence, any household item no matter how small, thrown out at the back or front of the property is subject to a fine. Waste Management local Council.

    Does nobody care about the dogs?
    All this talk about leaving the gate open, even enticing them out, yes they could hurt someone but could also get hurt themselves. It's not their fault they aren't properly looked after.

    Isn't it to keep the Lord Mayor and all his cronies in very well paid jobs?
