Community Resilience Group Briefing 28/1/22
Community Councillor Wanted
We have a vacancy for a Community Councillor on the Dores and Essich Community Council.
Do you have an interest in ongoing issues that affect our Community liaising with our Highland Councillors and other agencies ? Then this could be for you.
The only commitment is to 6 meetings a year but if you have other priorities you can give your apologies. You can get involved as much or as little as you are keen to to help on behalf of the Community.
You need to be on the electoral roll . The only downsides, there is no cake or booze
Could you also pass this onto to any young adults in your household, still at school who would like to get involved as youth members its vitally important that the younger members have their views represented and will look good on future CV’s for work or for College or University Applications.
If you would like to apply please email me secdorescc@gmail.com
Reports of Dogs Causing a Nuisance
We have had a number of reports of people visiting the area to walk their dogs where people have been bitten or their own dogs who are under control being overwhelmed by other dogs.
If you are bitten or attacked in the first instance phone the Police
The Highland Council have a page where you can report dog fouling a summary is below.
A dog is out of control if:
- It is not being kept under control effectively and consistently
- Its behaviour causes alarm, or fear to any person or animal
If any dog is out of control we have the power to serve a Dog Control Notice.
A dog is dangerously out of control in any public place if it bites or tries to bite a person or seriously injures or kills another animal. This should be reported immediately to the Police for action under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991.
