About
Thurrock Council awarded a contract to Knights Kennels for stray dog collection and kennelling services, valued at AUD 267,760.
The contract fulfils the Council's statutory duties under Section 68 of the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act, which transferred sole responsibility for stray dogs (except dangerous dogs) from police to local authorities in England and Wales from April 2008.
The contractor is responsible for collecting and detaining stray dogs, returning seized dogs to owners, maintaining a stray dog register, and retaining dogs for a period of 7 days.
The Council does not directly employ a dog warden or operate kennels, necessitating this contracted service.
