Activists should take extra care when out posting leaflets in the Barnsley Borough, with respect to the latest incident relating to the Deputy Mayoress of Barnsley, Pauline Haigh. While Miss Haigh was out in Cudworth posting Labour Party news letters with her partner, Deputy Mayor Councillor Joe Hayward last Sunday she lost part of her finger. She posted a leaflet through a letterbox, on Pleasant View when she disturbed the West Highland White sleeping by the door. She heard the dog bark and then followed a tremendous shock; she pulled out her hand to find part of her finger was missing.
After several painkilling injections and a consultation with the plastic surgeon it was revealed the severed part could not be re-attached. Education welfare officer Pauline Haigh of Mapplewell Barnsley told the Chronicle that she was angry and continued with an attack on the electorate stating “I have always been a pet lover but if there is a dog that attacks the post as it comes through, the owners should have a guard up or an outside post-box”. After the Police had investigated the incident a spokesman said it was a complete accident. Miss Haigh showed no signs of her disgust about the incident when she was interviewed by Calendar News.
