Decision details

*RESOLVED-

1.   That the proposed Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) for dog control, as outlined in Appendix 1 to the officer’s report, be approved. 

2.   That the Dog Control Orders be revoked to coincide with the introduction of the PSPO for dog control.

REASONS FOR DECISIONS-

1.   PSPO’s are intended to deal with a particular nuisance or problem in a particular geographical area that is detrimental to the local communities’ quality of life by imposing conditions on the use of that area. They are designed to ensure that the law-abiding majority can use and enjoy public spaces safe from anti-social behaviour.

2.   To ensure visitors and users of the borough’s parks and open spaces (dog owners and non-dog owners) can use these spaces in harmony.
