Establishment of pounds

6: Notice to be placed on pound

You could also call this:

"Signs must be put up to show who runs the animal pound"

When you have a pound, the local authority must put up a notice board in a visible spot. The notice board will say that the area is a public pound and will have the name of the local authority in charge of the pound. It will also have the name and address of the person who looks after the pound, called the poundkeeper.
