"Following a conversation with the dog owners a Community Protection Warning Letter was served on them with conditions to ensure dogs are kept on leads and under control when in fields containing sheep.
"Please take care locally when walking your dogs in our beautiful borough and keep them under control when near livestock this festive season."
