The court heard how both owners had their dogs seized after being reported as stray. Neither of the dogs were wearing an identity tag and the microchip details were not up-to-date, meaning the council could not contact the owners. On claiming the dogs back from the council, each owner was served with a legal notice requiring them to update the details of their dog’s microchip within 21 days. Both owners failed to comply – despite each being served with a final opportunity to comply with the notice, which effectively gives a dog owner an extra seven days to meet the requirements of the legislation.
Leavesden Country Park Grass cutting will be reduced this year at several locations around Three Rivers as part of a pilot project to increase biodiversity across the district. Some green spaces will remain uncut in order to find out what wildflowers grow naturally and the wildlife they attract. The project will start later this month and will feed into a county-wide audit taking place this summer which aims to better understand the rich biodiversity across Hertfordshire everything from plants to mammals and insects. The pilot includes areas in Rickmansworth Park, Rickmansworth Aquadrome, Fortune Common in Rickmansworth, Mead Place in Mill End, Hayling Road and Woodhall Lane in South Oxhey, South border of Carpenders Park, Leavesden Country Park, East Lane Cemetery, Leavesden, and Swillet Park in Chorleywood.
