Consultation on renewing the Public Space Protection Order for Dogs and Dog Control |
What is this survey all about?
Doncaster Council intends to renew an existing Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO).
This will see the current PSPO relating to dog fouling and dog control extended for a further three years when it runs out in February 2020.
The existing PSPO has helped to reduce the number of dog related complaints and renewing the order would enable this work to continue.
To renew the order we need to consult with residents about the plans.

This consultation runs until midnight on Sunday 2nd February 2020.
The consultation covers five key areas:
• Failure to clear up your dog’s mess.
• The keeping of dogs on leads in specified areas.
• Leads by order – this covers the need for people to put and keep a dog on a lead when directed to do so by an authorised officer.
• Exclusion of dogs from certain areas - this includes enclosed children’s play areas.
• Carrying suitable means to remove dog fouling.
Any breach of the order could result in the issue of a fixed penalty fine of £100. If this remains unpaid then the matter will be referred to the Magistrates’ Court where a fine of up to £1000 could be imposed plus the costs for bringing the action.
