East Suffolk Council
Have your say on renewal of Public Space Protection Orders
Residents in East Suffolk are invited to have their say on the proposed renewal of three Public Space Protection Orders (PSPOs) which are due to expire early next year.
There are 21 existing PSPOs relating to the control of dogs at locations across East Suffolk and three of these are due to expire in January.
These three PSPOs were adopted in 2021 and are being proposed for renewal without any alteration to existing restrictions for a further three years. The PSPOs cover areas including Aldeburgh Beach and Landguard Point Nature Reserve in Felixstowe, as well as the general requirement for keeping dogs on leads in specific areas.
A consultation is now open, inviting people to give their views on the proposed renewals.
Cllr Sarah Plummer, East Suffolk’s deputy cabinet member for the Environment said: “We know that most dog owners understand the impact their dogs can have on other people and the environment, and we are grateful to all those who keep their dog on a lead where required, who clean up after their dog and who avoid walking in restricted areas. Being a responsible dog owner means everyone can enjoy spending time in public spaces, with or without a dog.”
This consultation is now closed.
