The owner of a dog home boarding business in Bolton has been slammed by the council and ordered to pay £2,000.
But after complaints from members of the public, an investigation was started by the council’s licencing team. Ms Smethurst had previously submitted three applications over three years to the council to provide day care and overnight boarding for dogs. But, all three applications fell through as she failed to provide council officers with the required documentation and completed works to the premises to enable her to be issued with a licence.
She went onto later admit that she had been keeping the dogs for hours between their 'walks'. With that Leonie was ordered to pay £1,000 fine, and costs of £1,209.
