In 2017 the Borough Council introduced Public Space Protection Order No.3 (PSPO) covering the issue of dog control and dog fouling. A PSPO can be in place for a period of three years after which a review is legally required to take place. Consequently, this PSPO covering dog control is now due for review.
Since the implementation of the Dog PSPO, several successful prosecutions of offenders have occurred and anecdotal evidence from Officers who enforce it would suggest that the PSPO has proven appropriate to the work they undertake. However, complaints are still routinely received regarding dog control and fouling issues and as a result Officers do feel it is appropriate that these control measures are kept in place and the PSPO is renewed.
The Borough Council has now started a public consultation providing residents the opportunity to comment on the control measures that are currently in place. These views and comments from this consultation will help shape whether the PSPO is renewed and/or amended.
We are also inviting partner agencies and Councils, charities and other bodies who have an
interest in dogs to take part in this consultation and to add their views on what has been
proposed. To take part in the consultation please visit

The public consultation will run from 24th October 2022 until 20th November 2022. Therefore, please ensure if the Parish Council wishes to provide any comment you do so before this date.
