Wardens on graveyard patrol after complaints about dogs

Owners letting pets off leads

- JACK THOMSON, LOCAL DEMOCRACY REPORTER

Renfrewshire Council wardens have been patrolling cemeteries in Elderslie - after complaints about dogs being let off the lead by their owners.

A 'day of action' was dedicated to the issue as officers visited the sites, where they explained to people what the local authority's rules are.

Under council regulations, canines are allowed within the grounds but must be accompanied by their owner and always kept on a lead.

A report to next Tuesday's communities and housing policy board provided an update on the matter which members of the public have raised with councillors.
