A brand new area-wide public house safety order (PSPO) for canine management has been launched for the north of the county.
– Dogs on leads in sure recognized areas of public land
– Dogs on leads upon request
– Exclusion of dogs on sure areas of public land
It doesn’t embody limiting the variety of dogs that may be taken onto land.
Following two consultations and govt approval, the brand new order launched supersedes the legacy orders which had been in place in Kettering, Wellingborough and East Northants areas.
Until this level, there was no order in place within the Corby space.
Cllr Mark Rowley, the council’s govt member for housing, communities and levelling up, mentioned: “This new PSPO has been through two consultations and was revised, based on feedback following the initial consultation, which means we are certain it meets the needs of the whole of North Northants.
“We appreciate that most dog owners in North Northants are responsible.
“This area wide PSPO will ensure everyone can enjoy our open spaces and all dog owners know what rules are in place.”
Cllr David Brackenbury, the council’s govt member for development and regeneration, mentioned: “By having one PSPO for the whole area things will be much easier for dog walkers to understand and follow.
“Anyone found to be committing an offence could be issued with a fixed penalty notice, so I would encourage all dog owners to take a look at the new PSPO online and familiarise yourself with its content.”
Council chief Jason Smithers mentioned: “Since NNC was introduced, officers have worked hard to bring together services and policies, including orders like this one, to address any geographical differences and simplify controls for residents.
“To get to this point, we have been through a rigorous process with opportunities for residents to have their say before the new PSPO was introduced.
“I am pleased that we have now concluded the process and there is now one area wide PSPO in place.”
