Halstead: Posties want tougher penalties for dangerous dog owners

Halstead posties want tougher penalties for dog owners whose pets attack them on their rounds.

On average one postal worker a fortnight is attacked while carrying out deliveries in the CO postcode.

One Halstead worker was so badly mauled by German Shepherd last August, that he has had to undergo reconstructive surgery to his legs.

The owner is being taken to court by Braintree Council over a dangerous dog complaint. To read full story, see this week's Gazette.
