PSPO/dog control

Please see below which Esther has asked that we share with our email group.
 
Dear Friends of Parks Groups,
 
The PSPO/dog control is under review and the consultation period is Monday 17th May through to Sunday 20th June.

PSPO/dog control – brief overview:
We are keen to welcome dog walkers and dogs to the Borough and also want to encourage responsible dog ownership. There are public concerns over irresponsible dog ownership, including complaints of dog attacks on people and their pets, dog fouling and dogs out of control.
 
The Anti-Social Behaviour Crime and Policing Act 2014 provides a legal framework for local authorities to be able to deal with a particular nuisance or problem in a geographical area by way of a designating a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) – which are designed to ensure that the law-abiding majority can use and enjoy public spaces, safe from anti-social behaviour.
The current PSPO came into force in July 2018 and is in place for a period of three years with an expiry of July 2021.
 
We are required to review the existing PSPO/dog control (2018) and as part of this review we are required to consult with residents and other interested stakeholders.
