Should restricted dogs be allowed into, say, built up areas, such as housing estates and that and be held there? There is a potential of them getting out and seriously harming an awful lot more people than if they were out in the country. I know they should be muzzled anyway, though I have seen in my native county that some of these people are walking around with their dogs with no muzzles or anything. They let some of the dogs just walk along.

They will tell you the dogs are trained and will call them. What are Ms Creedon's views on them being inside housing estates?
