A horse and pony warden is to be introduced in Cardiff to deal with stray animals roaming the city’s streets.
The council is to spend £40,000 a year to pay for a member of staff and equipment needed to round up the strays, which are tethered to graze all round the council’s open spaces.
Owners will be charged a £75 pick-up fee and £15-a-day livery to get their horses back. Further details of how the role will work are still to be finalised.
