Havant Borough Council (HBC) and East Hampshire District Council (EHDC) recently merged their animal welfare teams and have earned three of the charity's gold medals.

Secured by employees Neil Thompson-Burton, Jazmine Green and Gillian Gower, the honours praise their care of stray dogs, contingency planning and regulation of animal boarding businesses '“ including kennels, stables, catteries, pet shops and even a bird zoo '“ across the area.
