Minutes:

Cabinet considered a report that sought agreement to carry out a formal consultation on dog control orders covering dog exclusion, dogs on leads, dogs on lead direction and dog fouling.

 

The proposals set out in the report responded to concern expressed by local residents groups and Police Safer Neighbourhood Teams (SNTs) with regard to the number of dogs that were not properly controlled by their owners when in public areas such as parks and play areas.  

 

It was confirmed that during the consultation period any areas not listed within the report, which were highlighted, would be considered and included if appropriate.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That plans for formal consultation on dog control orders covering dog exclusion, dogs on lead direction and dog fouling, as set out in paragraph 5.6 of the report, be approved.
