'Disrespectful' dog owners slammed for letting pets off the lead in cemetery grounds

Concerns have been expressed about the numbers of dogs that are let off the lead by their owners in cemeteries in Renfrewshire.
The behaviour was branded “very disrespectful” during a discussion on the issue at the infrastructure, land and environment policy board this week.
Under Renfrewshire Council rules, dogs are allowed within the sites but must be accompanied by their owner and always kept on a lead.
However, Councillor Iain McMillan, a Labour representative for Johnstone South and Elderslie, confirmed he has been contacted about the conduct at Wednesday's meeting.
He said: “One of the big issues I’ve been getting recently, representing an area that's got two cemeteries in it, is the number of dogs that owners just let off the lead.
