Dog Control Public Space Protection Orders

Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 Public Space Protection Orders (PSPO) – Dog Controls

We have amended the various dog controls currently in force across the district.

In the case of Landguard Point nature Reserve, these controls also extend to other activities.

As well as updating controls, PSPOs also provide a more effective and efficient way of dealing with these types of offence through the issue of a Fixed Penalty Notice.
