Views sought on protecting public spaces from dog fouling

With dog fouling in public spaces continuing to be an issue across the Moorlands, the District Council is considering introducing a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) and is now inviting residents, businesses and stakeholders to share their views.

 Dog fouling can spoil the enjoyment and appearance of public places including footpaths, parks, recreational areas and other open spaces. The proposed PSPO would help promote responsible dog ownership and provide enforcement powers where dog owners fail to remove dog mess from public areas.

The closing date for submissions is 23 August. Anyone unable to complete the online response form can request a paper copy from Customer Services staff on Council receptions.
