and live on Freeview channel 276
In February, a member of the public supplied CCTV footage of a dog straying from a property in breach of Section F of the Order, which states that dogs must be kept on a lead on ‘each and every length of road’.
A council Enforcement Officer was able to determine who the owner of the dog was and issued the fixed penalty notice as an alternative to being taken to court.

Hide AdCllr Steve Pickering, Cabinet member for the Environment, said: “We know that the vast majority of dog owners in our district are responsible, but we won’t hesitate to act when someone breaches the PSPO.
“It is every dog owner’s responsibility to ensure their dogs are kept secure”.
If you witness a breach of the Public Spaces Protection Order, you can report it using the council’s online self-service form or by calling 01246 231111.
