Minister says dog warden service cuts aren't impending

No final decisions have been made over axing the current service the Island’s dog warden provides.

That’s according to the Environment, Food and Agriculture Minister - who says he is eager to find a solution to the issue.

The MSPCA has raised concerns after it revealed that, from March 31st, the service will be transferred to the department’s pest control officers instead.
