NEWS - ANOTHER FRESH IDEA.
Joanna Collins & Nikki Steyn thank you for shining a light on what the Wellington City Council are doing - replacing plastic dog tags with a metal 'One Tag' that lasts a lifetime
I will bring this idea/proposal to the attention of NCC & ask that it be given most favourable consideration.
The Wellington City Council says that the tags will help reduce the amount of plastic going into their landfill & that is around 60,000 tags thrown out in Wellington City in the last five years alone!
Dog owners will pay their annual registration fees as usual, but they'll keep using the same tag.

This would have to be good for Nelson too (less plastic to landfill) & greater efficiencies at registration time for both dog owners & NCC, don’t you think?
