The proposed Capstone Country Park Dog Control Order
We are consulting on the extension for a further 3 years from 17 October 2020 of the Public Space Protection Order (PSPO). This consultation will focus on what is commonly known as the Dog Control
Zone for Capstone Country Park.

This will allow us to monitor anti-social behaviour of dog owners or handlers. It will make sure dogs are kept on leads or excluded in certain areas.

The PSPO proposes a continuation of dog control within the area. This means dogs must be kept on leads in certain areas, and being excluded from some areas (play and education areas). 
If a person is seen to not comply with the order they will be in breach.

A police officer, PCSO or authorised council officer will explain to them that they are in a Dog Control Zone. They will ask them to put the dog on a lead or to remove the dog from a certain area.

The officer will issue them with a Fixed Penalty Notice if they do not comply within a reasonable time after been advised and warned.
Proposed Capstone Public Space Protection Order area -
The proposed Capstone Country Park Dog Control Public Space Protection Order proposes that dogs must be a lead in the following two areas: Area 1 - in the main car park, around the lake and by the visitor centre and buildings and Area 2 – From the southern car park entrance to the car parks.

The proposed Capstone Country Park Dog Control Order
  To what extent do you agree or disagree with the requirement of the order that a person in charge of a dog must clear up after their dog immediately (dog fouling)?
 
 
 
 
 
  To what extent do you agree or disagree that authorised officers should be able to request dog owners or handlers to put their dogs on a lead if the dog is deemed to be out of control or a threat to other people or animals?
 
 
 
 
 
  Currently dog control restrictions do not apply to all people, and the council want to ensure that restrictions placed on dog owners and handlers are reasonable and take into account conditions where it is not possible to comply. The order does not apply to a person in control of a working assistance dog which has been trained to assist a person who has a disability.

To what extent do you agree or disagree with this exception?
