The information you provide is pseudonymised; that means that the personal information we ask for is grouped by a field which makes it harder to identify a person for example instead of using your month and year of birth we ask your age group. |

The proposed Riverside 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 Riverside 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. |

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? |
