RSPCA
Kingston upon Thames councillors are being encouraged to sign an RSPCA animal welfare pledge.
Kingston upon Thames councillors are being encouraged to sign an animal welfare pledge from the RSPCA, a UK charity focused on animal welfare, following a decision by the Place Committee in September 2026. This initiative aims to assess and improve the council's commitment to the cause, stemming from a motion debated on September 23, 2026.
The RSPCA pledge commits signatories to its five key animal welfare missions. During the September 2026 discussion, an amendment was agreed to remove a proposal for a dedicated Task and Finish Panel. No further council meetings are currently scheduled to discuss this topic.
