Dear Recipient,
We are seeking local people’s views on the public spaces protection orders (PSPOs) used to enforce responsible behaviour by dog walkers in the borough, particularly in parks and green spaces. Dog PSPOs give the police and Council powers to issue fixed penalty notices to anyone responsible for a dog that they reasonably believe is in breach of the PSPO.
PSPOs must be reviewed at least every three years and the dog PSPO was last reviewed and renewed in 2023, following a public consultation. In line with legislation, we would like to hear about the impact of its dog PSPOs over the last three years: whether people think the current orders should be continued, changed or stopped. Views are also sought on proposed new orders to cover three new play areas.
If you visit any of these areas, with or without a dog, we’d like to hear your views on our dog controls. Your feedback will help us to review our approach and encourage the kinds of responsible behaviour we want to see from dog walkers in the borough.
The consultation runs until 27 September 2026.

People are encouraged to read the information about the three borough-wide PSPOs, as well as the information for any specific park or green space they visit before taking part in the survey.
