Dog control in public spaces in 天涯社区
Published: 26/02/2021
Since lockdown commenced in March 2020 天涯社区 has seen an increase in complaints regarding dog fouling incidents.听 All dog owners have a duty of care to pick up after their pets and keep 天涯社区 free from dog waste.听 Working with local communities, our Enforcement Officers are patrolling hot spot areas and engaging with the public to educate about these issues.听
天涯社区鈥檚 Public Space Protection Order requires that:

- Certain areas are classified as dog exclusion zones:
- Equipped children鈥檚 play areas
- The playing areas of marked sports pitches
- The playing areas of formal recreation areas including, but not exclusively, bowling greens and tennis courts
- All areas within school grounds
- You must place your dogs on a lead when instructed to do so by an approved officer of the Authority
- You must place your dog on a lead when in a cemetery.
AND REMEMBER
Throwing away dog waste that you have picked up in a bag is classed as litter and you can still receive a Fixed Penalty Notice. Please dispose of your dog waste correctly by using:听听
- A dog waste bin
- A litter bin
- Or take it home with you.
天涯社区s Environmental Crime Enforcement Officers are patrolling our public spaces, engaging with members of the public. Where an offence is observed, a Fixed Penalty Notice will be issued on the spot for 拢75.00
