Decision details

Recommendations Approved

Reasons for recommendations

To protect residents and public spaces from dog activities which have or are likely to have a detrimental effect on the quality of life of those in the locality or it is likely that activities will be carried on in a public place in that area and that they will have such an effect

Other options considered and rejected

Not to replace the PSPO’s. It is proposed that each dog related PSPO is still appropriate and proportionate to be used across the borough. The PSPO allows authorised officers to enforce the orders when necessary.  Problems would re-occur / occur if the PSPO’s were not in place and council officers would have difficulty to address these behaviours without the Orders in place.
