DMA Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) Some good news about the petition before it's even been handed into Council. Last Wednesday night the council voted to open the pound for significantly longer hours. I don't know exactly when this change will take place, but when it does the pound will now be open for 5 hours each day Monday - Friday & 3 hours on Saturday. That's a massive improvement on the current arrangement as it means the place will be open for 28 hours instead of the current four hours. But there's still other vital points. Council seems adamant that there won't be a volunteer program, whilst they're saying little about the other issues at the moment. So, in these other important aspects, the petition is still vital. So if you haven't signed it already, please do so here: http://www.gopetition.com.au/petitions/ces...imal-pound.html And don't forget to tell everyone you know Edited March 4, 2010 by DMA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMA Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 Thats a good start DMA It certainly is. And I haven't mentioned it in this thread yet, but the council will be employing two more staff members. One will be an extra full-time ranger, whilst a new position will be created known as the pound "Co-ordinator". Hopefully that'll all mean that there are more hands, who can attend to the needs of the impounded animals, as against the current situation.

DMA Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 More good news to finish off Friday... we've gone past 700 signatures for the petition, but another 300 would be ideal.
