Consultation has concluded
This consultation closed on 24 November 2023, an update will be available shortly which will summarise the findings and next steps
To help keep our neighbourhoods safe and pleasant for everyone, we’relooking at whether we should introduce certain rules around dogs in our parks and open spaces.
The vast majority of dog owners act responsibly and keep their pets under control. However, the council continues to receive comments and complaints from residents about the behaviour of some dogs and irresponsible dog owners.
In response to this, the council wants to gather residents' opinions about a variety of dog control related issues. The feedback will help us decide whether to introduce a dog control public space protection order (PSPO).
Public Space Protection Orders are aimed at ensuring public spaces can be enjoyed free from anti-social behaviour. They are not about stopping the responsible use of public spaces - but they do provide councils with a tool to tackle persistent issues that are damaging their communities.
Check out the Frequently Asked Questions for more details about the Dog Control PSPO and how it works in practice.
