Earlier today (23/04/24) we were made aware of an incident involving a suspected XL bully dog that was not on a muzzle. The dog has chewed through a size 5 football which had been newly purchased for the vulnerable adult who was playing with it at the time on land off Park Farm Road near to the football "cage".

The incident has caused much alarm and distress to the vulnerable adult.

This is a polite reminder to all dog owners to ensure they keep control of their dogs at all times.

For a reminder on the laws around XL bullies: Ban on XL Bully dogs - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)

I have also attached a copy of the Public Space Protection Order in regards to Dog Control in Tamworth.
