Three dogs causing nuisance on Hackney Homes estates have been removed and action taken on the owners.

Following reports from residents and investigations by Hackney Homes officers in partnership with Hackney Council’s Dog Warden and the RSPCA, the dogs which had been intimidating neighbours and were constantly barking were removed.

Councillor Sophie Linden, Cabinet Member for Crime, Sustainability and Customer Services, says: “We know that most dog owners in Hackney are responsible and control their dogs. However, residents have told us they are concerned by the minority of owners who allow their dogs to act aggressively and intimidate other people and animals.

That is why action was taken to remove these dogs and we urge residents to get in touch if they experience similar issues.”
