Tantramar staff will not be looking into the possibility of allowing dogs off leash in the Dorchester ball park during winter months.
Councillor Debbie Wiggins-Colwell put forward a motion on Tuesday night asking for a staff report on the idea, but five councillors and the mayor voted down the proposal.
A number of councillors including Deputy Mayor Matt Estabrooks raised concerns about dog feces being left on the field where children would later be playing. “I realize that the scope was maybe off season, but off season can get blurred a little bit,” said Estabrooks. “I’ve done some research and I feel I can’t support it.”
