Title: Dog Control Orders                                                                     Status: Closed

The vast majority of dog owners are caring and responsible. Not only for their pet's well being but also considerate as to the effect their dog has on other residents and visitors to Tamworth.

However, complaints regarding the behaviour of some dog owners and regarding the problem of dog fouling are still regularly received by the Local Authority. Reports and letters in the local newspapers also highlight the frequency and extent of the problem.

Tamworth Borough Council intends to make a number of Dog Control orders under Section 55 of the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005 to address these problems.

Title: Stronger Leader Model                                                                 Status: Closed

Residents of Tamworth were consulted over how they would prefer the crucial issue of leadership of their local democracy to work.

A change in the law meant that Tamworth Borough Council must choose from one of two options for leadership: either a Leader with stronger powers or a directly elected Mayor.

Under the current system, the Council has a Leader and a Cabinet. Each year the Council appoints the Leader, and each year the Leader decides how many and which councillors make up the Cabinet, as well as what jobs the Cabinet performs.
