Wallis George, of Welsh language campaign group Cymdeithas Yr Iaith, said a tourism tax was "long overdue," and rejected suggestions it would deter visitors.

Ch Insp Emma Cheney said that dog attacks, many of them in people's homes, had become a “daily occurrence" for the force.South Yorkshire Police released graphic images of the woman's injuries, which showed a large chunk of flesh missing from her calf muscle. The person who called 999 described her leg as "hanging off".

Later the same afternoon, a 20-year-old woman was bitten by a Belgian Malinois which had displayed aggression towards another member of her family. When the victim tried to intervene, the dog attacked her. She suffered deep puncture wounds to her arms and required hospital treatment.The third incident took place the next morning, 23 September, when a 33-year-old woman was bitten by an XL bully at her own home in Maltby, near Rotherham.She was feeding another dog when the animal became aggressive and she suffered a broken wrist and bite wounds to her hands, arms and torso.

The final call within the 48-hour period involved a 13-year-old boy who was left with minor injuries after being attacked by a Cane Corso breed.Ch Insp Cheney said: “We are continuing to see an unprecedented demand on our force, as well as other organisations, such as the NHS.

“Please, please take action. Simple steps can be the difference between life and death.”

South Yorkshire Police confirmed all of the dogs involved in the incidents were seized and remain in secure kennels.Adam Zdravkovic, who is the secretary of the community council, said news of the closure plans had not been welcome.

"The reaction has not been positive," he said."It's going to really affect a mix of residents, local businesses, charitable organisations, voluntary organisations.

"There is quite a thriving business and voluntary community here, and to not have the ability to walk in and out of a bank on the High Street is going to really affect things."Fellow resident Gordon Lawson echoed those concerns for local organisations.
